The Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation (DNN) and the Nuclear Counterterrorism and Incident Response (NCTIR) programs are central to the U.S. strategy to reduce global nuclear security risks. These two programs provide policy and technical leadership to prevent or limit the spread of materials, technology, and expertise related to weapons of mass destruction (WMD); develop technologies that detect the proliferation of WMD worldwide; secure or eliminate inventories of nuclear weapons-related materials and infrastructure; and ensure rapid, effective responses to nuclear or radiological incidents and accidents domestically and overseas.
The major elements of the appropriation account include the following:
Material Management and Minimization (M3).—M3 programs reduce and, when possible, eliminate weapons-usable nuclear material around the world to achieve permanent threat reduction. This includes minimizing the civilian use of highly enriched uranium (HEU); removing or eliminating nuclear material internationally; and disposing of excess nuclear material in the United States.
Global Material Security (GMS).—GMS programs prevent terrorists and other actors from obtaining nuclear and radioactive materials to use in an improvised nuclear device or a radiological dispersal device by working domestically and with partner countries to improve the security of vulnerable materials and facilities and to build sustainable capacity to deter, detect, and investigate illicit trafficking of these materials. GMS works with countries in bilateral partnerships, and with and through multilateral partners such as the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol).
Nonproliferation and Arms Control (NPAC).—NPAC programs strengthen nonproliferation and arms control regimes through technology and tool development combined with policy innovation and implementation to prevent proliferation, support peaceful nuclear uses, and enable detection, monitoring and verification missions. NPAC builds the capacity of the IAEA and partner countries to implement international safeguards obligations; leads domestic and international programs implementing U.S. export control obligations; supports the negotiation and implementation of agreements and associated monitoring regimes; and develops approaches and strategies to address emerging nonproliferation and arms control challenges and opportunities.
Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and Development (DNN R&D).—DNN R&D drives the innovation of national and multi-lateral technical capabilities to detect nuclear detonations; foreign nuclear weapons activities; and the presence, movement, or diversion of special nuclear materials. The program also sustains and develops foundational nonproliferation technical competencies that ensure the technical agility needed to support a broad spectrum of U.S. nonproliferation missions and to anticipate threats and build the human capacity to support these missions into the future. DNN R&D leverages the unique facilities and scientific skills of the Department of Energy, academia, and industry to perform research, conduct technology demonstrations, develop prototypes, and produce and deliver sensors for integration into operational systems.
NNSA Bioassurance Program.—The NNSA Bioassurance Program establishes a national security R&D program to anticipate and detect global biological threats and broaden DOE's role in national biodefense. The NNSA contribution complements DOE's support of other departments and U.S. biodefense strategies and plans. The NNSA Bioassurance program will work in close coordination with the Office of Science (DOE/SC) by integrating NNSA's high-security work with DOE/SC's supported "open" science model. The Program will provide the full spectrum of bioassurance capabilities, informed by national security expertise that is drawn from parallel and analogue work on nuclear threats, risks, export controls and licensing, nonproliferation, detection, and verification.
Nonproliferation Construction.—The Nonproliferation Construction Program supports the construction of projects for the dilute and dispose strategy to fulfill the United States' commitment to dispose of 34 metric tons of surplus U.S. weapon-grade plutonium and remove plutonium from the state of South Carolina. The request will complete the final design review and continue the activities required to achieve CD-2/3, Approval of Performance Baseline and Start of Construction, to initiate construction on the Surplus Plutonium Disposition (SPD) project. Using available prior year balances, physical termination activities for the Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication project were completed in FY 2021 and closeout activities will be completed in FY 2022.
Nuclear Counterterrorism and Incident Response (NCTIR).—The NCTIR Program applies the unique technical expertise of NNSA's nuclear security enterprise to prepare for, prevent, respond to, mitigate, and recover from nuclear or radiological incidents and accidents worldwide. To that end, NCTIR provides scientific understanding of nuclear threat devices, including potential terrorist and proliferant state nuclear capabilities; informs U.S. and international threat reduction policies and regulations; sustains Nuclear Emergency Support Team (NEST) readiness to respond to nuclear and radiological incidents and accidents at home and overseas; provides targeted training to domestic and international partners on nuclear and radiological emergency preparedness and response; and delivers expert analysis and technical capabilities to support national counterproliferation efforts. NCTIR also provides both the structure and processes to ensure a comprehensive and integrated approach to emergency management and continuity of operations, thereby safeguarding the health and safety of workers and the public, protecting the environment, and enhancing the resilience of the Department and the Nation.

The Defense Environmental Cleanup program is responsible for protecting human health and the environment by identifying and reducing risks, as well as managing waste and facilities, at sites where the Department carried out defense-related nuclear research and production activities. Those activities resulted in radioactive, hazardous, and mixed-waste contamination requiring remediation, stabilization, decontamination and decommissioning, or some other type of cleanup action. The Budget displays the cleanup program by site and activity.
Closure Sites.—Funds post-closure administration costs after the physical completion of cleanup, including costs for contract closeout and litigation support.
Hanford Site.—Funds cleanup and environmental restoration to protect the Columbia River and surrounding communities. The Hanford site cleanup is managed by two Environmental Management (EM) site offices: the Richland Operations Office and the Office of River Protection.
The Richland Office is responsible for cleanup activities on most of the geographic area making up the Hanford site. The primary cleanup focus is decontamination and decommissioning legacy facilities and characterizing and treating contaminated groundwater.
The Office of River Protection is responsible for the safe storage, retrieval, treatment, immobilization, and disposal of approximately 56 million gallons of radioactive waste stored in 177 underground tanks. It is also responsible for related operation, maintenance, engineering, and construction activities, including those connected to the Waste Treatment and Immobilization Plant being built to solidify the liquid tank waste in a glass form that can be safely stored.
Idaho.—Funds retrieval, treatment, and disposition of nuclear and hazardous wastes and spent nuclear fuel, and legacy site cleanup activities.
NNSA Sites.—Funds the safe and efficient cleanup of the environmental legacy of past operations at National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) sites including Nevada National Security Site, Sandia National Laboratories, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Separations Process Research Unit. The cleanup strategy follows a risk-informed approach that focuses first on those soil and groundwater contaminant plumes and sources that are the greatest contributors to risk. The overall goal is first to ensure that risks to the public and workers are controlled, then to clean up soil and groundwater using a risk-informed methodology. NNSA is responsible for long-term stewardship of its sites after physical cleanup is completed. Los Alamos legacy cleanup is managed by the EM Los Alamos field office. Funding is included to support the deactivation and decommissioning (D&D) of specific high-risk excess facilities by the Environmental Management program for Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos National Laboratories.
Oak Ridge.—Funds defense-related cleanup of the three facilities that make up the Oak Ridge site: 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 adjacent Clinch River.
Savannah River Site.—Funds the safe stabilization, treatment, and disposition of legacy nuclear materials, spent nuclear fuel, and waste at the Savannah River site. Key activities include operating the Defense Waste Processing Facility, which is solidifying the high activity liquid waste contained in underground storage tanks, and operation of the Salt Waste Processing Facility, which separates various tank waste components and treats and disposes the low activity liquid waste stream.
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 disposal of transuranic waste from waste generator and storage sites across the DOE complex. The Waste Isolation Pilot Plant is crucial to the Department of Energy (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 management and direction for various crosscutting EM and DOE initiatives such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics activities at Minority Serving Institutions and investments in historically underserved communities to support program needs, intergovernmental activities, and analyses and integration activities across DOE in a consistent, responsible, and efficient manner.
Safeguards and Security.—Funds activities to protect against unauthorized access, theft, diversion, loss of custody or destruction of DOE assets, and hostile acts that could cause adverse impacts to fundamental national security or the health and safety of DOE and contractor employees, the public or the environment.
Technology Development and Deployment.—Funds projects managed through Headquarters 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' cleanup decisions. These projects focus on maturing and deploying the technologies necessary to accelerate tank waste processing, treatment, and waste loading.

The Office of Science (SC) is the nation's largest Federal supporter of basic research in the physical sciences. The SC portfolio has two principal thrusts: direct support of scientific research and direct support of the design, development, construction, and operation of unique, open-access scientific user facilities. SC initiates three new research initiatives to include Energy Earthshots; Funding for Accelerated, Inclusive Research (FAIR); and Accelerate Innovations in Emerging Technologies (Accelerate). The Energy Earthshots initiative will support both small group awards and larger center awards through the Energy Earthshot Research Centers. These centers will bring together multi-investigator, multi-disciplinary teams to address key research challenges at the interface between basic research and applied research and development activities. The FAIR initiative, will target efforts to increase participation and retention of individuals from underrepresented groups in SC research activities. The Accelerate initiative will support scientific research to accelerate the transition of science advances to energy technologies. The request also supports ongoing investments in priority areas including clean energy , microelectronics, critical materials, quantum information science (QIS), artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), and exascale computing.
Advanced Scientific Computing Research.—The Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) program supports research in applied mathematics and computer science; delivers the most advanced computational scientific applications in partnership with disciplinary science; advances computing and networking capabilities; and develops future generations of computing hardware and tools for science, in partnership with the research community and U.S. industry. The strategy to accomplish this has three thrusts: 1) developing, deploying, and maintaining world-class computing and network facilities for science; 2) advancing research in applied mathematics, computer science and advanced networking; and 3) partnering with other DOE and SC programs to advance the use of its high performance computers to drive scientific advances for the Nation in areas such as clean energy and earth systems modeling. The program supports the development, maintenance, and operation of large high-performance computing and network facilities, including the Leadership Computing Facilities at Oak Ridge and Argonne National Laboratories, the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Facility at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and the Energy Sciences Network.
SC and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) continue to partner on the Department's Exascale Computing Initiative (ECI) to overcome key exascale challenges in parallelism, energy efficiency, and reliability, with deployment of the Nation's first exascale system in calendar year 2021 and additional exascale systems in calendar years 2022 and 2023. The ECI focuses on delivering advanced simulation through an exascale-capable computing program, emphasizing sustained performance in science and national security mission applications and increased convergence between exascale, AI, and large-data analytic computing.
Basic Energy Sciences.—The Basic Energy Sciences (BES) program supports fundamental research to understand, predict, and ultimately control matter and energy at the electronic, atomic, and molecular levels to provide the foundations for new energy technologies and to support the Department of Energy (DOE) missions in energy, environment, and national security. The research disciplines that BES supports—condensed matter and materials physics, chemistry, geosciences, and aspects of biosciences are those that discover new materials and design new chemical processes that touch virtually every important aspect of energy resources, production, conversion, transmission, storage, efficiency, and waste mitigation.
BES also manages a research portfolio in accelerator physics, x-ray and neutron detectors, and x-ray-optics to explore technology options for developing the next generations of x-ray and neutron sources. On behalf of DOE, BES manages the DOE Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR), which supports early-stage energy research in U.S. states and territories that are historically under-represented in federally-supported research.
BES supports twelve scientific user facilities consisting of a complementary set of intense x-ray sources, neutron sources, and research centers for nanoscale science. BES facilities probe materials and chemical systems with ultrahigh spatial, temporal, and energy resolutions to investigate the critical functions of matter and tackle some of the most challenging science questions and urgent national priorities such as the fight against COVID-19. These facilities undergo continual development and upgrade of capabilities, including fabricating new X-ray and neutron experimental stations, improving core facilities, and providing new stand-alone instruments and capabilities. BES also manages construction projects to build new or upgrade existing facilities to provide world-leading tools and instruments to the scientific community and maintain U.S. leadership in the physical sciences.
Biological and Environmental Research.—The Biological and Environmental Research (BER) program supports fundamental research to understand complex biological, biogeochemical, and physical principles of natural systems at scales extending from the genome of microbes and plants to the environmental and ecological processes at the scale of the planet Earth. BER's support of basic research will contribute to a future of stable, reliable, and resilient energy sources and infrastructures, that will lead to climate solutions, strengthen economic prosperity and assure environmental justice. BER research in biological systems science uses approaches such as genome sequencing, secure biodesign, proteomics, metabolomics, structural biology, and high-resolution imaging and characterization. Integration of this experimental biological information into computational models for iterative testing and validation advances a predictive understanding of biological systems for use in secure, clean, affordable, and reliable energy for adaptation to industry. New efforts in clean energy bio-based materials and foundational bioenergy research underpin new biotechnology and the bioeconomy.
BER research in Earth and environmental systems science is focused on scientific analysis and modeling of the sensitivity and uncertainty of Earth system predictions to atmospheric, cryospheric, oceanic, and biogeochemical processes, with continued support of the Energy Exascale Earth System Model. New Urban Integrated Field Laboratories combine modeling and observations of emerging energy technologies in urban regions, enabling the evaluation of the societal and environmental impacts of current and future energy policies. Augmented planning and implementation continues for a Climate Resilience Center effort, facilitating translations of BER investments in foundational climate research into actionable solutions for impacted communities and addressing the Administration priorities involving climate solutions and environmental justice. Operations and equipment refresh continue at the three BER scientific user facilities: the Joint Genome Institute, the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement Research Facility, and the Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory.
Fusion Energy Sciences.—The Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) program mission is to expand the fundamental understanding of matter at very high temperatures and densities and to build the scientific foundation needed to develop a fusion energy source. This is accomplished through the study of plasma, the fourth state of matter, and how it interacts with its surroundings. High-temperature fusion plasmas at hundreds of millions of degrees are being exploited in the laboratory to become the basis for a future clean energy source. Once developed, fusion energy will provide a clean energy source that is well-suited for on- demand, dispatchable electricity production, supplementing intermittent renewables and fission.
The FES program has four elements: 1) Burning Plasma Science: Foundations—The behavior of magnetically confined fusion plasmas is experimentally explored on the DIII-D National Fusion Facility and the National Spherical Torus Experiment-Upgrade (currently under repair), which are national scientific user facilities. Fusion theory and simulation activities predict and interpret the complex behavior of magnetically-confined plasmas. This element also supports partnerships with the private sector through the Innovation Network for Fusion Energy (INFUSE) program and a new milestone-based cost-share fusion enterprise program. In addition, FES will initiate an inertial fusion energy science and technology program; 2) Burning Plasma Science: Long Pulse—U.S. scientists take advantage of international partnerships to conduct research on overseas tokamaks and stellarators with unique capabilities. The element also supports research to develop the nuclear science and novel materials that can harness the power from a burning plasma and withstand the extreme fusion environment; 3) Burning Plasma Science: High Power—This element supports the U.S. Contributions to the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Project, the world's first burning plasma experiment, and the initiation of an ITER Research program; and 4) Discovery Plasma Science—This element supports research in Plasma Science & Technology, including plasma astrophysics, high-energy-density laboratory plasmas (HEDLP), and low-temperature plasmas. Besides ITER, FES also manages construction projects to build new or upgrade existing facilities to provide world-leading tools and instruments to the scientific community and maintain U.S. leadership in several areas. These include the Materials Plasma Exposure eXperiment (MPEX) for fusion materials science and the Matter in Extreme Conditions (MEC) Petawatt Upgrade at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory for HEDLP science.
High Energy Physics.—The High Energy Physics (HEP) program supports fundamental research to understand how the universe works by discovering the elementary constituents of matter and energy, probing the interactions among them, and exploring the basic nature of space and time. A world-wide program of particle physics research is underway to discover what lies beyond the Standard Model of particle physics. Five intertwined science drivers of particle physics provide compelling lines of inquiry that show great promise for discovery: 1) use the Higgs boson as a new tool for discovery; 2) pursue the physics associated with neutrino mass; 3) identify the new physics of dark matter; 4) understand cosmic acceleration, dark energy, and inflation; and 5) explore new particles, interactions and physical principles. The program enables scientific discovery through a strategy organized along three frontiers: 1) The Energy Frontier, where researchers accelerate particles to the highest energies and collide them to produce and study the fundamental constituents of matter; 2) The Intensity Frontier, where researchers use a combination of intense particle beams and highly sensitive detectors to make extremely precise measurements of particle properties, to study some of the rarest particle interactions predicted by the Standard Model, and to search for new physics; and 3) The Cosmic Frontier, where researchers seek to reveal the nature of dark matter and dark energy by using naturally occurring particles to explore new phenomena. The highest-energy particles ever observed have come from cosmic sources, and the ancient light from distant galaxies allows scientists to map the distribution of dark matter and perhaps unravel the nature of dark energy. Investments in Theoretical, Computational, and Interdisciplinary Physics provide the framework to explain experimental observations. Advanced Technology Research and Development (R&D) fosters fundamental and innovative research into particle acceleration and detection techniques and instrumentation, supporting the frontiers and enabling future discovery experiments. HEP supports two particle accelerator scientific user facilities. HEP also manages construction projects to build new or upgrade existing facilities, providing world-leading tools and instruments to the particle physics scientific community.
Nuclear Physics.—The mission of the Nuclear Physics (NP) program is to solve an enduring mystery of the universe-what are the basic constituents of matter and how do they interact to form the elements and the properties we observe? To solve this mystery, NP supports research to discover, explore, and understand all forms of nuclear matter ,including exotic forms that existed in the first moments after the Big Bang. The goal is new knowledge that can benefit commerce, medicine, and national security. Achieving the goal requires support for advanced tools and the scientists and engineers who use them. NP provides ~95% of the support for basic nuclear physics research in the United States. Experimental approaches use large accelerators at national scientific user facilities to collide particles at nearly the speed of light, producing short-lived forms of nuclear matter for investigation. NP currently operates three national user facilities: the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility, and the Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator Facility. Also three powerful "microscopes" with complementary "resolving powers", which also produce advanced accelerator technology. Other research attempts to understand the theory of the strong nuclear force via Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD). An exciting vision to which NP researchers are making seminal contributions is quantum computing — future computers capable of solving QCD problems intractable with today's capabilities. To maintain U.S. leadership, the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) will begin operations in FY 2022 and will uniquely afford access to 80% of all isotopes predicted to possibly exist in nature, including over 1,000 never produced on earth. The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) project is under development; when the EIC is completed in the next decade, it will provide unprecedented capability to discover how the mass of everyday objects is dynamically generated by the interaction of quarks and gluons. A targeted program of fundamental symmetries experiments is ongoing, including transformative research to determine whether the elusive neutrino particle is its own anti-particle. The National Nuclear Data Center is supported to collect, evaluate, curate, and disseminate nuclear physics data for basic nuclear physics research and applied nuclear technologies.
Isotope R&D and Production.—The DOE Isotope Program (DOE IP) produces critical radioactive and stable isotopes in short supply for the Nation that no domestic entity has the infrastructure or core competency to produce. Isotopes are high-priority commodities of strategic importance for the Nation and are essential in medical diagnosis and treatment, discovery science, national security and preparedness, industrial processes and manufacturing, space exploration and communications, biology, archeology, quantum science, clean energy, environmental science, and other fields. The DOE IP supports high-priority research on innovative and transformative approaches to isotopes production and processing, such as advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and robotics. The DOE IP promotes the development of robust, domestic supply chains of strategic isotopes and ensures national preparedness of critical infrastructure to mitigate risks in supply. The program provides mission readiness for the production and processing of radioactive and stable isotopes that are vital to the missions of many Federal agencies including the National Institutes of Health, National Institute of Standards and Technology, Department of Agriculture, Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, NNSA, and DOE SC programs. DOE IP continues to work in close collaboration with all federal organizations to develop strategic plans for isotope production and to establish effective communication to better forecast isotope needs and leverage resources. Construction continues for the Stable Isotope Production and Research Center to expand the stable isotope production capability to meet the demands of the Nation and mitigate dependency on stable isotope supply chains from foreign countries. Investments in QIS and Climate/Clean Energy support technology development for isotopes of interest. The DOE Isotope Traineeship advances workforce development in the field of isotope production and processing, promoting a safe, diverse, equitable and inclusive environment.
Accelerator R&D and Production.—Accelerator R&D and Production (ARDAP) supports cross-cutting basic R&D in accelerator science and technology, access to unique SC accelerator R&D infrastructure, workforce development, and public-private partnerships to advance new technologies for use in SC's scientific facilities and in commercial products. ARDAP supports fundamental research, user facility operations, and production of accelerator technologies in industry, with the aim of ensuring SC and broader U.S. Government have the best scientific instruments available. Reducing supply chain risks by re-shoring critical accelerator technologies is a key part of ARDAP's mission. ARDAP supports early-stage translational research to move advanced accelerator technology out of scientific laboratories and into broader applications in industry, environmental cleanup, medicine, and national security.
Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists.—The Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS) program mission is to help ensure that DOE has a sustained pipeline of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics workers. This is accomplished through support of undergraduate internships, and graduate thesis research and collaborative faculty research opportunities at the DOE laboratories; and annual, nationwide, middle and high-school science competitions culminating in the National Science Bowl in Washington, D.C. These investments help develop the next generation of scientists and engineers.
Science Laboratories Infrastructure.—The Science Laboratories Infrastructure (SLI) program supports scientific and technological innovation at the SC laboratories by funding and sustaining mission-ready infrastructure and fostering safe and environmentally responsible operations. The program provides state-of-the-art facilities and infrastructure that are flexible, reliable, and sustainable in support of scientific discovery. The SLI program also funds Payments in Lieu of Taxes to local communities around the Argonne, Brookhaven, and Oak Ridge National Laboratories. The SLI program continues to focus on improving infrastructure across the SC national laboratory complex. The FY 2023 request includes funding for eleven on-going SLI construction projects: 1) Princeton Plasma Innovation Center at PPPL; 2) Critical Infrastructure Recovery & Renewal at PPPL; 3) Critical Utilities Rehabilitation Project at BNL; 4) Seismic and Safety Modernization at LBNL; 5) CEBAF Renovation and Expansion at TJNAF; 6) Large Scale Collaboration Center at SLAC; 7) Argonne Utilities Upgrade at ANL; 8) Linear Assets Modernization Project at LBNL; 9) Critical Utilities Infrastructure Revitalization at SLAC; 10) Utilities Infrastructure Project at FNAL; and 11) Biological and Environmental Program Integration Center at LBNL.
Safeguards and Security.—The Safeguards and Security (S&S) program is designed to ensure appropriate security measures are in place to support the SC mission requirement of open scientific research and to protect critical assets within SC laboratories. This is accomplished by providing physical controls that will mitigate possible risks to the laboratories' employees, nuclear and special materials, classified and sensitive information, and facilities. The S&S program also provides funding for cyber security for the laboratories' information technology systems to protect electronic data while enabling the SC mission.
Program Direction.—Science Program Direction supports a highly skilled Federal workforce to develop and oversee SC investments in research and scientific user facilities. SC provides public access to DOE scientific findings to further leverage the Federal science investment and advance the scientific enterprise. SC requires highly skilled scientific and technical program and project managers, as well as experts in areas such as acquisition, finance, legal, construction, and infrastructure management, human resources, and environmental, safety, and health oversight. Oversight of DOE's basic research portfolio, which includes extramural grants and contracts supporting nearly 29,000 researchers located at over 300 institutions and the 17 DOE national laboratories, spanning all fifty states and the District of Columbia and 28 scientific user facilities serving nearly 34,000 users per year, as well as supervision of major construction projects, is a Federal responsibility.

The U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) was established by the America COMPETES Act of 2007 (Public Law 110–69), as amended. The mission of ARPA-E is to enhance the economic, climate, and energy security of the United States through the development of advanced technologies that reduce imports of energy from foreign sources; reduce energy-related emissions, including greenhouse gases; improve the energy efficiency of all economic sectors; provide transformative solutions to improve the management, clean-up, and disposal of radioactive waste and spent nuclear fuel; improve the resilience, reliability, and security of infrastructure to produce, deliver, and store energy; mitigate the causes of, reverse the impact of, adapt to, or increase resilience against climate change; and monitor, analyze, and utilize climate emissions data. ARPA-E is expanding its scope to invest in climate-related innovations necessary to achieve net zero climate-inducing emissions by 2050 and address adaptation and resilience due to a changing climate. ARPA-E will ensure that the United States maintains a technological lead in developing and deploying advanced energy technologies. ARPA-E will identify and promote revolutionary advances in energy and climate-related applied sciences, translating scientific discoveries and cutting-edge inventions into technological innovations. It will also accelerate transformational technological advances in areas where industry by itself is not likely to invest due to technical and financial uncertainty. The role of ARPA-E is not to duplicate DOE's basic research and applied programs but to focus on novel early-stage energy research and development with technology applications that can be meaningfully advanced with a small investment over a defined period of time.

The mission of the Office of Electricity (OE) is to drive electric grid modernization and resilience in energy infrastructure. OE leads the Department of Energy's efforts to strengthen, transform, and improve electricity delivery infrastructure so that consumers have access to resilient, secure, and clean sources of energy. OE programs include:
Transmission Reliability and Resilience (TRR).—The TRR program is focused on ensuring the reliability and resilience of the U.S. electric grid through R&D measurement and control of the electricity system, assessing evolving systems needs, identifying pathways to achieve an equitable transition to decarbonization and electrification, and risk assessment to address challenges across integrated energy systems.
Energy Delivery Grid Operations Technology (EDGOT).—EDGOT supports a public private partnership to develop national-scale energy planning and real-time situation awareness capabilities by focusing on developing large, networked communication and data infrastructure across multiple utility boundaries. EDGOT's North America Energy Resilience Model (NAERM) will help transition the current reactive state-of-practice to a new energy planning, investment, and operation paradigm in which we proactively develop infrastructure investment strategies.
Resilient Distribution Systems (RDS).—The RDS program develops transformative technologies, tools, and techniques to modernize the distribution portion of the electric delivery system. RDS activities will help harness emerging sources of energy for balance, reliability, and control: EVs, connected homes and buildings, increasing distributed solar, and energy storage.
Cyber Resilient and Secure Utility Communications Networks (SecureNet).—SecureNet, called Cyber R&D in the FY 2022 request to Congress, addresses energy sector cybersecurity associated with electricity delivery systems. SecureNet will focus on data and physics to redesign grid architecture that exposes the electricity system to cyber threats and will pursue coordinated engagement with DOE's other cyber-related activities.
Energy Storage.—The Energy Storage program, which is included in the Department's Grand Challenge, helps ensure the stability, reliability, and resilience of electricity infrastructure. The request supports emerging technology efforts focused on ultra-low-cost chemistries; a new GSL fellowship program; and continued development of the Rapid Operational Validation Initiative.

The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) accelerates the research, development, demonstration, and deployment (RDD&D) of technologies and solutions to equitably transition America to net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions economy-wide no later than 2050, creating good paying jobs, and ensuring the clean energy economy benefits all Americans.
To achieve this mission, EERE invests in clean energy technologies that are ready to be demonstrated and deployed, as well as research and development (R&D) activities that advance early stage technologies with a clear path to deployment. EERE's investments focus on five strategic priority areas: decarbonizing the electricity sector, decarbonizing transportation across all modes, decarbonizing energy-intensive industries, reducing the carbon footprint of buildings, and enabling net-zero agricultural production of biofuels.
EERE works in a unified and coordinated way with its state and local partners to accelerate a just, equitable transition to a clean energy economy and ensure that the office's investments benefit everyone, especially those in underserved or pollution over-burdened communities and workers and communities impacted by the energy transition. The office is organized into four pillars, with three technical pillars designed to advance cross-technology solutions, and a Corporate Program pillar that serves as the central organization for all EERE products, services, processes, and systems.
Sustainable Transportation Pillar.—Supports RDD&D efforts to decarbonize transportation across all modes to enable the following: vehicle electrification; commercially viable hydrogen fuel cell trucks; sustainable aviation fuel from biomass; and waste carbon resources and low-GHG options for off-road vehicles, rail, and maritime transport. Many newly-proposed investments in this pillar are directly focused on deployment or demonstration of technology to show viable commercial paths, including a number of programmatic performance milestones by 2030 related to decarbonizing transportation across all modes. The Budget also supports hydrogen use for industrial decarbonization and energy storage, including sustainable biomass to achieve reduced GHG from the agricultural sector.
Renewable Power Pillar.—Supports RDD&D efforts to reduce the costs and accelerate the integration and utilization of renewable energy technologies as part of a reliable, secure, resilient, and fully decarbonized electric system by 2035 and a net zero economy by 2050. This request drives critical cost reductions and technical improvements in wind, solar, geothermal, and water power technologies to increase the penetration of cost-competitive, non-emitting energy generation resources across the country. Renewable Power also provides new research and technologies to facilitate the siting and integration of the high levels of renewable power generation needed to fully decarbonize the power system, and supports the development of diversified, resilient supply chains for all renewable energy technologies to help ensure the long-lasting security of the U.S. energy supply, which will alson provide thousands of good-paying jobs for American workers. The Budget also includes funding for a new Solar Manufacturing Accelerator, an initiative that partners the Advanced Manufacturing Office in the Energy Efficiency pillar with the Solar Energy Technology Office intended to diversify and strengthen the supply chain for solar energy technologies, as well as enhance the domestic capability to produce technologically advanced solar energy components that avoid supply chains that may be reliant in part on unethically sourced materials or vulnerable foreign supply chains.
Energy Efficiency Pillar.— Supports RDD&D to decarbonize America's homes, buildings, and industrial facilities while also strengthening U.S. manufacturing competitiveness and producing thousands of good-paying jobs. The request includes increased support for demonstration and deployment, as well as high impact R&D of technologies to increase energy efficiency, improve demand flexibility, and reduce on-site emissions from our nation's 125 million homes and commercial buildings to reduce total emissions by 50 percent by 2030 and net-zero by 2050. It also increases investment in RDD&D across the multiple decarbonization technologies and approaches necessary to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, including industry-specific decarbonization investments focused on the chemicals, iron and steel, cement, and food products industries. In addition, the request includes significant funding increases for public investment in federal, state, and community programs to accelerate investments in decarbonizing all sectors of the U.S. economy, and initiates funding for the Solar Manufacturing Accelerator initiative in partnership with the Solar Energy Technologies Office in the Renewable Power pillar.
Corporate Programs Pillar.—Supports activities to make EERE more efficient and effective. This pillar identifies ways to strengthen EERE's overall performance, organization, budget, laboratory management, operations, human capital, and project management while achieving significant cost savings. This includes support for program direction (e.g., salaries and benefits, support services, working capital fund, etc.) and facilities and infrastructure as part of EERE's stewardship of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (e.g., general plant projects, general purpose equipment, safeguards and security, and capacity building for Administration priorities).
Budgetary projections, including program direction and FTE counts, in the EERE account reflect execution of Bipartisan Infrastructure Legislation (BIL) programs appropriated to EERE and executed through EERE and three newly established programs: State and Community Energy Programs; Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains; and Federal Energy Management Program.
In FY 2023, through the EERE appropriation, $2.2 Billion of BIL funding is provided to support the following activities: Electric Drive Vehicle Battery Recycling and Second-Life Applications Program; Clean Hydrogen Electrolysis Program; Clean Hydrogen Manufacturing Recycling Research, Development, and Demonstration Program; Maintaining and Enhancing Hydroelectricity Incentives - Section 247 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005; Implementation Grants for Industrial Research and Assessment Centers; Industrial Research and Assessment Centers; Grants for Energy Efficiency Improvement and Renewable Energy Improvements at Public School Facilities; Grants for Updating Building Energy Codes; Advanced Energy Manufacturing and Recycling GrantProgram; Battery Manufacturing and Recycling Grants; and Battery Material Processing Grants.

The FY 2023 request includes funding for the Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED), which was authorized and established through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). OCED's mission is to deliver clean energy technology demonstration projects at scale in partnership with the private sector to accelerate deployment, market adoption, and the equitable transition to a decarbonized energy system by 2035.
OCED is a technology-neutral office with expertise in large-scale energy project management and finance that leverages the existing technical expertise throughout the Department of Energy (DOE). OCED investments are part of a clear progression and transition between the research, development, and demonstration projects within the DOE technology offices and initial deployments supported by the private sector or DOE Loan Programs Offices, ensuring continuity of DOE support for clean energy technologies and systems. Funding decisions are made to support scalable outcomes leading to commercialization and deployment for greenhouse gas reductions, job creation, and achieving environmental justice and Justice40 Initiative priorities.
In FY 2023, OCED will support new demonstrations related to the integration of renewable and distributed energy systems. The goal of this new investment area is to support demonstration programs to address integration issues of renewable energy onto the transmission and distribution grids. Additionally, OCED will provide additional support for the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program, as part of DOE's consolidation of support for these demonstration projects into OCED from the Office of Nuclear Energy (NE). This investment will complement the $2.48 billion provided in BIL to continue these important projects.
In addition to the activities supported through OCED's annual appropriations, the organization will continue to support clean energy demonstrations through its execution of funding provided to OCED in BIL.

The Fossil Energy and Carbon Management (FECM) office conducts research, development, demonstration and deployment (RDD&D) that focuses on technologies to reduce carbon emissions and other environmental impacts of fossil fuel production and use, particularly the hardest-to-decarbonize applications in the electricity and industrial sectors. Additionally, the program advances technologies on carbon dioxide (CO2) removal (CDR) to reduce atmospheric and legacy emissions of CO2, and technologies that convert and durably store CO2 into value-added products. FECM recognizes that decarbonization is essential to meeting climate goals—100% carbon pollution free electricity by 2035 and net-zero greenhouse gas emissions economy-wide by 2050. FECM is also committed to improving the conditions of communities impacted by the legacy of fossil fuel use and to supporting a healthy economic transition that accelerates the growth of good-paying jobs.
Program activities funded through this account focus on: 1) demonstrating and deploying point source carbon capture; 2) Reducing methane emissions; 3) advancing carbon dioxide removal, conversion, transport, and storage; 4) advancing critical minerals, rare earth elements, and mine remediation; 5) supporting low-carbon industrial supply chains; 6) increasing efficient use of big data and artificial intelligence; 7) accelerating carbon-neutral hydrogen; 8) addressing the Energy Water Nexus; 9) investing in thoughtful transition strategies. Many of these activities are pursued in partnership with the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), which also receives funding from this account.

The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) provides strategic and economic security against foreign and domestic disruptions in oil supplies via an emergency stockpile of crude oil. The program fulfills United States obligations under the International Energy Program, which commits the United States to support the International Energy Agency through its coordinated energy emergency response plans and provides a deterrent against energy supply disruptions. The FY 2023 Budget will support the SPR's operational readiness and drawdown capabilities of 4.4 MB/d. The program will perform cavern wellbore testing and maintenance activities to ensure the availability of the SPR's crude oil inventory. The FY 2023 Budget will continue to fund the Northeast Gasoline Supply Reserve which currently holds one million barrels of refined product in reserve.

The Energy Security and Infrastructure Modernization Fund was established in Section 404 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 to finance modernization of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR). Revenue raised through sales of SPR crude oil will support Life Extension Phase 2 project investments needed to ensure the SPR can maintain its operational readiness capability, meet its mission requirements, and operate in an environmentally responsible manner. The CARES Act extended the Department's authority to sell oil in support of modernization from FY 2020 to FY 2022, and DOE conducted its final sale in FY 2021, thus no further appropriations are requested in FY 2023. Funds in the ESIM account will be used for the Life Extension Phase II (LE2) SPR infrastructure modernization project.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC or the Commission) is an independent agency that regulates the transmission and wholesale sale of electricity and natural gas in interstate commerce, as well as the transportation of oil by pipelines in interstate commerce. FERC also reviews proposals to build interstate natural gas pipelines, natural gas storage projects, and liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals, and FERC licenses non-federal hydropower projects. The Commission assists consumers in obtaining reliable, safe, secure, and economically efficient energy services at a reasonable cost through appropriate regulatory and market means, and collaborative efforts. Regulated entities pay fees and charges sufficient to recover the Commission's full cost of operations.
Ensure Just and Reasonable Rates, Terms, and Conditions.— In carrying out its regulatory role, FERC uses a range of ratemaking activities, leveraging both regulatory and market means. FERC establishes and applies rules and policies that will result in just, reasonable, and not unduly discriminatory or preferential rates, terms, and conditions of jurisdictional service. The Commission fulfills this responsibility by determining whether FERC rules and policies need to be added or changed, and by analyzing and acting on filings in a fair, clear, and timely manner.
Oversight, surveillance and enforcement are essential complements to the Commission's approach to ensure that rates, terms and conditions of service are just and reasonable and not unduly discriminatory or preferential. The Federal Power Act and the Natural Gas Act, along with other statutory authorities, gives FERC oversight and enforcement responsibilities that focus on promoting compliance of regulated entities and detecting and deterring market manipulation and other market violations. The Commission assesses compliance and financial filings of regulated entities and monitors market activity and explores potential violations.
Ensure Safe, Reliable, and Secure Infrastructure Consistent with the Public Interest.—The Commission plays an important role to promote infrastructure that is safe and reliable, both physically and cyber-secure, and consistent with the public interest. Infrastructure for which FERC approval is required includes interstate natural gas pipelines and storage projects, LNG facilities, and non-federal hydropower. In addition, the Commission has authority to site electric transmission facilities in certain circumstances. The Commission reviews natural gas and hydropower infrastructure proposals to facilitate benefits to the nation. FERC conducts thorough and timely technical review of applications to construct, operate, or modify natural gas and hydropower infrastructure. The Commission also assesses compliance with environmental mitigation conditions in FERC orders during construction and operation of natural gas and hydropower infrastructure.
The Commission also has an important role in minimizing risks to the public associated with FERC-jurisdictional energy infrastructure. FERC conducts comprehensive and timely inspections of hydropower and LNG facilities to ensure compliance. The Commission protects and improves the reliable and secure operation of the Bulk-Power System through mandatory and enforceable reliability standards. The Commission also protects FERC-jurisdictional energy infrastructure through collaboration and sharing of best practices.
Provide Mission Support through Organizational Excellence.—The public interest is best served when the Commission operates in an efficient, responsive and transparent manner. FERC pursues this by maintaining processes and providing services that enable FERC offices to manage resources effectively and efficiently. The Commission also provides tools and services that equip employees to drive success and accomplish the agency's mission. FERC will continue to make investments in its people, information technology (IT) resources, and facilities.
The Commission promotes transparency and equity, open communication, and a high standard of ethics to facilitate trust and understanding of FERC's activities. FERC supports this by maintaining legal and other processes in accordance with the principles of due process, fairness, and integrity. FERC considers matters involving environmental justice and equity consistent with its statutory authority. In particular, the Commission has a strong commitment to working with affected communities, including environmental justice communities and landowners who may be directly impacted by Commission decisions on jurisdictional infrastructure proposals. The Commission also promotes understanding, participation, and engagement with the public, stakeholders, Tribes, and jurisdictional entities. The Commission will increase its engagement with the public through its newly established Office of Public Participation.

Section 136 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) established a direct loan program to support the development of advanced technology vehicles and associated components in the United States, known as the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing (ATVM) Loan Program. The ATVM Loan Program provides loans to advanced technology vehicle and part manufacturers for the cost of reequipping, expanding, or establishing manufacturing facilities in the United States to produce advanced technology vehicles or qualified components and for associated engineering integration costs.
The Consolidated Security, Disaster, Assistance, and Continuing Appropriation Act of 2009 appropriated $7.5 billion for credit subsidy costs to support a maximum of $25 billion in loans under the ATVM Loan Program. Per EISA subsection (d)(1), the full credit subsidy cost must be paid using appropriated funds. Currently, the program has $17.7 billion in uncommitted loan authority and $2.4 billion in unobligated credit subsidy available to support new projects.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law authorized an expanded scope of advanced technology vehicle modes eligible for ATVM loans, including advanced medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, locomotives, maritime vessels, aircraft, and hyperloop technology. The FY 2023 Budget proposes to enable the use of existing appropriated authority to support projects eligible under the expanded scope.
In FY 2023, LPO requests $9.8 million to originate ATVM direct loans and monitor the program's growing portfolio. While the FY 2023 Budget Request does not request new loan authority, LPO anticipates utilizing all remaining ATVM loan authority by the end of FY 2023—closing approximately $5 billion in loans in FY 2022 and $13 billion in FY 2023.

The Title 17 Innovative Technology Loan Guarantee Program (Title 17), authorized by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct of 2005), as amended, allows the Department of Energy (DOE) to provide loan guarantees for innovative energy projects that avoid, reduce, or sequester air pollutants or anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases. Eligible technologies include energy efficient and renewable energy systems; advanced fossil and carbon capture, sequestration, utilization and storage systems; energy storage; virtual power plants; and various other clean energy projects.
Through the Title 17 loan guarantee program, the Loan Programs Office (LPO) provides access to debt capital for high-impact, large-scale infrastructure projects and initial commercializations in the United States. Eligible projects must meet air pollutant or greenhouse gases emissions requirements; 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.
As of January 2022, $22.4 billion in loan guarantee authority is available to support projects eligible under Section 1703. In addition, $161 million in appropriated credit subsidy is remaining (from the FY 2011 full-year continuing resolution) that can be used for renewable energy and efficient end-use technology projects.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law authorized an expanded scope of projects eligible under Title 17, including domestic critical minerals supply chain and State energy financing institution-backed projects. The FY 2023 Budget proposes to enable the use of existing appropriated authority to support projects eligible under this new authority.
The FY 2023 Budget requests $150,000,000 for credit subsidy and $5 billion in loan guarantee authority to support the full range of projects eligible under Title 17. Available loan authority will increase by $5 billion from $22.4 billion to $27.4 billion. The Department expects to obligate approximately $6 billion of loan authority in FY 2022 and $4.5 billion of loan authority in FY 2023.
The Budget requests $66,206,000 for administrative expenses to operate the Title 17 program. The Department estimates that $48,000,000 will be received from fees pursuant to Section 1702(h) of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and credited as offsetting collection.

The Tribal Energy Loan Guarantee Program (TELGP) provides access to debt capital for tribal ownership of energy projects and activities that support economic development and tribal sovereignty. TELGP is authorized pursuant to section 2602 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, as amended by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, to make available up to $2 billion in partial loan guarantees. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2017, (H.R. 244, Public Law 115–31) appropriated $8.5 million to cover the credit subsidy costs associated with the $2 billion in available loan authority.
The FY 2023 Budget proposes $1,860,000 in Administrative Expenses to continue outreach and originating activities and to monitor the expected portfolio of TELGP projects. This funding level allows the Loan Programs Office to help achieve the Administration's objectives of a carbon-pollution free electric sector by 2035 and net-zero emissions, economy-wide, by 2050, supporting placed-based initiatives including energy community and Justice40 investments.

The Southeastern Power Administration (Southeastern) markets power generated at 22 U.S. Army 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. As in past years, the budget continues to provide funding for annual expenses and purchase power and wheeling expenses through discretionary offsetting collections derived from power receipts collected to recover those expenses.
Program Direction.—Provision is made for negotiation and administration of transmission and power contracts, collection of revenues, accounting and budget activities, 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 53 million in 2022. As of the end of FY 2021, Southeastern's PPW reserve balance was $27 million.

Southwestern Power Administration (Southwestern) operates in a six-state area marketing and delivering renewable hydroelectric power produced at the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' dams. Southwestern operates and maintains 1,381 miles of high voltage transmission lines, 26 substations/switching stations, associated power system controls, and communication sites. Southwestern also makes modifications and constructs additions to existing facilities.
Southwestern markets and delivers its power at wholesale rates to 78 municipal utilities, 21 rural electric cooperatives, and 3 military installations. In compliance with statutory requirements, Southwestern's power sales contracts provide for periodic rate adjustments to ensure that the Federal Government recovers all costs of operations, other costs allocated to power, and the capital investments in power facilities, with interest. Southwestern is also responsible for scheduling and dispatching power and negotiating power sales contracts to meet changing customer load requirements. As in past years, the budget continues to provide funding for annual expenses and purchase power and wheeling expenses through discretionary offsetting collections derived from power receipts collected to recover those expenses.
Program Direction.—Provides compensation and all related expenses for personnel who market, deliver, operate, and maintain Southwestern's high-voltage interconnected power system and associated facilities, those that perform cyber and physical security roles, and those that administratively support these functions.
Operations and Maintenance.—Provides essential electrical and communications equipment replacements and upgrades, capitalized moveable equipment, technical services, and supplies and materials necessary for the safe, reliable, and cost effective operation and maintenance of the power system.
Purchase Power and Wheeling.—Provides for the purchase and delivery of energy to meet limited peaking power contractual obligations. Federal power receipts and alternative financing methods, including net billing, and customer advances are used to fund system-purchased power support and other contractual services. Southwestern has implemented a Purchase Power and Wheeling (PPW) risk mitigation strategy to ensure continuous operations during periods of significant drought. The strategy was developed consistent with existing authorities, and with the participation and support of Southwestern's power customers. Under this approach, Southwestern retains receipts from the recovery of purchase power and wheeling expenses within the 'up to' amount specified by Congress. The receipts retained are available until expended and are available only for PPW expenses. As of the end of FY 2021, Southwestern's PPW reserve balance was $86 million. Customers will provide other power resources and/or purchases for the remainder of their firm loads.

1The FY 2022 and FY 2023 Estimates assume spending authority from offsetting collections equals the 'up to' ceiling and that obligations incurred are the same amount as the spending authority for FY 2023. Actual spending authority from offsetting collections and actual obligations will be dependent upon variability in market prices for PPW and hydrological conditions in Southwestern's region, which vary significantly, are largely unpredictable, and can change quickly.

The Western Area Power Administration (WAPA) markets electric power in 15 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. WAPA operates and maintains about 17,000 circuit-miles of high-voltage transmission lines, more than 300 substations/switchyards and associated power system controls, and communication and electrical facilities for 15 separate power projects. WAPA also constructs additions and modifications to existing facilities.
In keeping with statutory requirements, WAPA's long-term 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.
Power is sold to nearly 700 wholesale customers, including DOE's National Labs, more than two dozen U.S. Department of Defense installations, municipalities, cooperatives, irrigation districts, public utility districts, other 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.
As in past years, the budget continues to provide funding for annual expenses and purchase power and wheeling expenses through discretionary offsetting collections derived from power receipts collected to recover those expenses.
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.
WAPA has implemented a Purchase Power and Wheeling (PPW) risk mitigation strategy to ensure continuous operations during periods of significant drought. The strategy was developed consistent with existing authorities, and with the participation and support of WAPA power customers. Under this approach, WAPA retains receipts from the recovery of purchase power and wheeling expenses within the 'up to' amount specified by Congress. The receipts retained are available until expended, and are available only for purchase power and wheeling expenses. As of the end of FY 2021, WAPA's PPW reserve balance was $217 million.

System Construction.—WAPA'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. WAPA 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 WAPA'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.
Reimbursable Program.—This program involves services provided by WAPA to others under various types of reimbursable arrangements. WAPA's reimbursable authority and partnerships also support responses to natural disasters - to restore the energy infrastructure and access to power.
WAPA 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 WAPA to obligate directly from the Colorado River Dam Fund comes from section 104(a) of the Hoover Power Plant Act of 1984.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) (Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, P.L. 117–58) provided WAPA with additional resources for purchase power and wheeling.

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 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 50 percent of the region's electric energy supply and about three-fourths of the region's high-voltage 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 finances its operations with a business-type budget under the Government Corporation Control Act, 31 U.S.C. 9101–10, on the basis of the self-financing authority provided by the Federal Columbia River Transmission System Act of 1974 (Transmission Act) (Public Law 93–454) and the U.S. Treasury borrowing authority provided by the Transmission Act, the Pacific Northwest Electric Power Planning and Conservation Act (Pacific Northwest Power Act) (Public Law 96–501) for energy conservation, renewable energy resources, capital fish facilities, and other purposes, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111–5), Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021 (section 40110) (Public Law 117–58), and other legislation. Authority to borrow from the U.S. Treasury is available to the BPA on a permanent, indefinite basis. The amount of U.S. Treasury borrowing outstanding at any time cannot exceed $17.70 billion. BPA finances its approximate $4.4 billion annual cost of operations and investments primarily using power and transmission revenues and loans from the U.S. Treasury.
Operating Expenses—Transmission Services.—Provides for operating over 15,100 circuit miles of high-voltage transmissions lines and 262 substations, and for maintaining the facilities and equipment of the Bonneville transmission system in 2023.
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 payment of the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs allocated to power the 31 U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation hydro projects, amortization on the capital investment in power generating facilities, and irrigation assistance at U.S. Bureau of Reclamation 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 U.S. Treasury borrowings to finance BPA's capital investments under $17.70 billion of U.S. Treasury borrowing authority provided by the Transmission Act; the Pacific Northwest Power Act for energy conservation, renewable energy resources, capital fish facilities, and other purposes; the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009; Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, and other legislation. This interest category also includes interest on U.S. Army 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.
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.
Capital Equipment/Capitalized Bond Premium.—Provides for capital information technologies, 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.
Total Capital Obligations.—The 2023 capital obligations are estimated to be $842.5 million.
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. BPA has $17.70 billion of U.S. Treasury borrowing authority provided by the Transmission Act; the Pacific Northwest Power Act for energy conservation, renewable energy resources, capital fish facilities, and other purposes; the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009; Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act of 2021, and other legislation. At the end of 2021, BPA had outstanding bonds with the U.S. Treasury of $5,629 million. At the end of 2021, BPA also had $7,191.1 million of non-Federal debt outstanding, including Energy Northwest bonds. BPA will rely primarily on its U.S. Treasury borrowing authority to finance capital projects, but may also elect to use cash reserves generated by revenues from customers or seek third party financing sources when feasible to finance some of these investments.
In 2021, BPA made payments to the Treasury of $1,049 million and also expects to make payments of $935 million in 2022 and $971 million in 2023. The 2023 payment is expected to be distributed as follows: interest on bonds and appropriations ( $192 million), amortization ( $734 million), and other ( $45 million). BPA also received credits totaling approximately $111 million applied against its Treasury payments in 2021 of which $90.6 million reflected amounts diverted to fish mitigation efforts, but not allocable to power, in the Columbia and Snake River systems.
BPA, with input from its stakeholders, considers other strategies to sustain funding for its infrastructure investment requirements as well. BPA's Financial Plan defines strategies and policies for guiding how BPA will manage risk and variability of electricity markets and water years. It also describes how BPA will continue to manage to ensure it meets its Treasury repayment responsibilities.
Direct Loans.—During 2023, no new direct loan obligations may be made.
Operating Results.—Total revenues are forecast at approximately $3.9 billion in 2023.
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 and the power share of FCRPS U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Bureau of Reclamation employees working under the Federal Employees Retirement System is fully recovered in wholesale electric power and transmission rates.
