The bill provides $4,983,803,000 for the programs of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, a decrease of $345,367,000 below the fiscal year 2006 enacted level (adjusted for one-time emergency spending) and $250,803,000 over the budget request. The fiscal year 2007 budget request for the Corps of Engineers totals $4,733,000,000, which is composed of entirely of new budget authority.

The fiscal year 2007 budget request for the Corps’ Civil Works program continues the performance-based ranking system instituted in fiscal year 2006 with two major modifications to the guidelines. The first allows risks to human life to be considered along with economics for flood and storm damage reduction projects. The second changes the prioritization process for environmental restoration projects.

This appropriation funds studies to determine the need, the engineering and economic feasibility, and the environmental and social suitability of solutions to water and related land resource problems; and funds preconstruction engineering and design, data collection, interagency coordination, and research. The Committee recommends an appropriation of $128,000,000, a decrease of $34,360,000 from the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, and $34,000,000 over the budget estimate.

Within this amount, not less than $15,000,000 will be available for the permanent bridge below Folsom Dam; the remaining funds will be directed to Folsom Dam Modifications, Common Features and the Folsom Dam Raise. The Committee Report also states that it "has also provided $3,000,000 for the Secretary to prepare a report that supplements the American River Watershed Project, California Supplemental Information Report dated March 1996 for the purpose of identifying and evaluating any potential for additional flood damage reduction to the Sacramento area that would result from construction of a multipurpose storage facility downstream of the confluence of the North and Middle forks of the American River. Further, the Committee directs the Secretary to continue to expedite all actions necessary for completion of the new bridge at Folsom Dam, California, including completing the environmental review and documentation, completing the final design, negotiating and executing the project cooperative agreement, utilizing abbreviated contracting procedures and other means of simplifying and expediting necessary procedures for approval and construction. The Committee directs the Secretary to consider the new bridge at Folsom Dam, California, as a non-Central Valley Project component. Inclusion of a feasibility study to contruct a dam in Auburn, CA, should not interfere with or delay efforts to proceed with the projects at Folsom Dam and should be viewed simply as an effort to explore additional flood control options in the region behold those that can be implemented at Folsom Dam."

Santa Ana River mainstem – In total, the Committee provides $56,080,000 for Santa Ana River main stem in California, of which $2,000,000 is available for the Seven Oaks Dam water quality study.

The Committee Report states: "The Committee is pleased the CALFED Bay-Delta program was included in the fiscal year 2007 budget request and recommends $40,110,000 an increase of $1,500,000 over budget request. The Committee is also pleased the budget request included a water quality section and science program section in this year’s budget. However, the budget documentation was extremely limited in justifying the various levels of funding for each program/project under the CALFED Bay-Delta program. Therefore, the Committee has redirected the funding for higher priority projects that will support the implementation of the CALFED Bay-Delta program. The funded projects will produce increased sources of water for the State of California, otherwise known as ‘firm yield’ projects, improve drinking water quality, and improve water delivery flexibility.

The Committee recognizes the impending danger the Sacramento/San Joaquin Delta levees pose to the economy, environment, water users, and general welfare of the people within the State. It is the Committee’s belief that, because Reclamation relies on the Delta to move water from north to south, it should share in the responsibility of maintaining and strengthening delta levees and has provided funding under the CALFED Bay-Delta program for this purpose. All program funds provided under the CALFED Bay-Delta program are to be considered non- reimbursable. The Committee also is aware that Reclamation is not providing all funds to project cooperators as outlined in last year’s bill and insists Reclamation provide the funds listed below in full for 2007. The Committee again urges the Administration to fund all program elements at the fully authorized levels in future budget requests and include all cooperating agency budgets related to CALFED Bay-Delta program activities under this account."

The funds provided are intended to support the following activities:

Science – $2,970,000

Delta Levees – $6,000,000

Environmental water account – $6,000,000

Storage program – $11,385,000

San Joaquin River basin – ($3,960,000)

Los Vaqueros – ($1,980,000)

Shasta enlargement – ($3,960,000)

Sites – ($1,485,000)

Conveyance – $3,415,000

San Luis Reservoir Low Point – ($1,485,000)

Temporary Barriers – ($500,000)

Planning and management activities – $500,000

Water use efficiency – $2,850,000

Upper Feather River Basin Assessment – ($750,000)

Sac Valley Int Regional Management Program – ($1,100,000)

Inland Empire Utilities Agency regional water recycling project – ($1,000,000)

Ecosystem restoration- $1,000,000

Water Quality – $5,990,000

Contra Costa Water District alternative intake project – ($2,000,000)

San Joaquin River Salinity Management ($3,990,000)

Conveyance.—Due to the legal action against the intertie project between the State Water Project California Aqueduct and the Central Valley Project Delta Mendota Canal, the Committee has eliminated the funding for this project.

Delta Levees.—The Committee Report states that the "Committee provides $6,000,000, to be transferred to the Corps of Engineers, which shall be available to begin implementation of the Delta Levee Stability Program High Priority, Priority Group A projects as identified in the draft 180–day report to Congress dated March 2006."

Water Use Efficiency.—The Committee Report states that the "Committee has provided funds, contingent upon completion and delivery of the appropriate feasibility report to the appropriate congressional committees by Reclamation, to be available for construction of the Inland Empire Utilities Agency Regional Water Recycling Project." The Committee has also provided $1,100,000 for the Sacramento Valley Integrated Regional Water Management Program which shall be shared between the Northern California Water Association member agencies and the counties of Butte, Colusa, Glenn, and Tehama, California.

Total funding for the Department of Energy is $24,373,489,000, an increase of $326,717,000 over fiscal year 2006 and $298,772,000 over the budget request.

According to the Committee Report: "The Department of Energy (DOE) has requested a total budget of $24,074,717,000 in fiscal year 2007 to fund programs in its four primary mission areas: science, energy, environment, and national security. The overall DOE budget is essentially flat compared to the fiscal year 2006 enacted level, but the four mission areas fare quite differently under the Department’s budget proposal. Science research would increase by 14 percent, and the budget for the National Nuclear Security Administration increases by 2.3 percent. However, the budget for applied energy research is actually down by 4.8 percent, and the environmental cleanup budget sees a reduction of 11.6 percent compared to fiscal year 2006.

The Committee makes a number of changes to the fiscal year 2007 budget request to reflect specific Congressional priorities and interests. The Committee recommendation fully funds the request for the American Competitiveness Initiative under the Office of Science, but makes significant adjustments to funding for the NNSA, applied energy research, and environmental cleanup."

– California Hydrogen Infrastructure Systems and Storage – $1,000,000

– Nano-Membrane for Low Temp Fuel Cell Project – $1,500,000

– Hydrogen Optical Fiber Sensors – $950,000

– CALSTART Domestic Hybrid Truck Development – $1,000,000

Congressionally Directed Fuels And Power Projects

– Methanol Economy at the University of Southern California – $1,500,000

– Direct Coal Fuel Cell at Stanford University – $1,000,000

The Committee recommends no funding, the same as the budget request. The Report states: "The Committee understands that the final amount due will be based on the resolution of equity determinations, which cannot be completed until all divestment-related expenses are accounted."

The recommendation provides $19,865,000, for soil and water remediation measures at the former Atlas uranium mill tailings site at Moab, Utah, a decrease of $3,000,000 below the budget request. The decrease accommodates "higher-priority compliance driven cleanups," according to the Committee Report.

Consolidated Business Center – The Committee recommendation provides $5,720,000 for the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center, and $16,000,000 for nuclear facility decontamination and decommissioning for the Energy Technology Engineering Center, the same as the budget request. The Committee recommends $1,025,000 for decontamination and decommissioning of the Tritium System Test Assembly Facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory, the same as the budget request. The Committee recommends $160,000 for cleanup work at various sites in California, the same as the budget request.

The Committee Report states: "The Committee is generally pleased with the Department’s budget request for the Office of Science in fiscal year 2007. This request finally reverses the trend of recent years, which saw the requests for the Office of Science held essentially flat. As a consequence, funding for physical sciences research, funded at the federal level primarily by the DOE Office of Science, lagged seriously behind funding for life sciences research. Congress was forced to provide additional funding to address obvious deficiencies in the Office of Science request. Fortunately, the fiscal year 2007 request fully funds operating time at existing DOE user facilities, funds the investment in major new research facilities such as the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor, the International Linear Collider, and the 12 GeV upgrade to the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility, and maintains a healthy level of funding for ongoing research at the DOE laboratories and at universities. The fiscal year 2007 budget request appears to strike the right balance between maximizing existing capabilities and investing in new capabilities for the future.

The Committee recognizes that funding a significant increase for the Office of Science required some difficult choices regarding other DOE programs. However, the Committee supports the Secretary’s judgment that robust funding for the basic research mission of the Department represents the best long-term use of the Department’s constrained resources, and the best long-term investment for the economic future of the country. The Office of Science took seriously the Congressional direction to prepare laboratory business plans and five-year budget plans, and these plans give added credibility and context to the fiscal year 2007 budget request.

The Committee recommendation is $4,131,710,000, an increase of $30,000,000 compared to the budget request and $535,319,000 over the fiscal year 2006 enacted level. Compared to the previous fiscal year, the Committee has reduced the number and dollar value of House-directed projects in the Biological and Environmental Research subaccount to $30,000,000, and has provided additional funding for these projects so they do not diminish the proposed American Competitiveness Initiative."

The Committee recommends a total of $775,099,000 for high energy physics, the same as the budget request. The Committee Report states: "Over the past few years, the Committee has consistently supported the DOE/NASA Joint Dark Energy Mission (JDEM), a space probe to help answer the fundamental physics question of our time what is the ‘dark energy’ that constitutes the majority of the universe. Answering this question is among the top priorities of the physics community and of the Office of Science, and the Committee strongly believes that this initiative should move forward. DOE has done its part, developing the SuperNova Acceleration Probe (SNAP) as the DOE mission concept for JDEM. Unfortunately, NASA has failed to budget and program for launch services for JDEM. Unfortunately, in spite of best intentions, the multi-agency aspect of this initiative poses insurmountable problems that imperil its future. Therefore, the Committee directs the Department to begin planning for a single-agency dark energy mission with a launch in fiscal year 2013. The Committee directs DOE to explore other launch options, including cooperative international approaches and the procurement of private launch services, to get the SNAP platform into space. DOE is to report back to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees, not later than March 2, 2007, on the cost and feasibility of a single-agency mission, including the use of alternative launch options. The Committee will consider providing further guidance on this issue in the fiscal year 2008 appropriations bill and report."

The Committee recommendation for fusion energy sciences is $318,950,000, the same as the budget request. The Committee Report states that the Committee "is pleased that the department finally requested sufficient funding for the U.S. participation in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) Project without doing so at the expense of domestic fusion research activities or at the expense of other office of science programs."

The Committee recommendation provides a total of $50,888,000 for Science Laboratories Infrastructure, the same as the budget request. Within the requested amount, the Committee transfers $7,000,000 from the delayed demolition of the Bevatron at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to the Physical Sciences Facility at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (project 07–SC– 05) in order to accommodate the pending cleanup and closure of the 300 Area at the Hanford site.

Campaigns are focused efforts involving the three weapons laboratories, the Nevada test site, the weapons production plants, and selected external organizations to address critical capabilities needed to achieve program objectives.

Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) Ignition and High Yield.—The Committee recommends $528,191,000 for the inertial confinement fusion and yield program, an increase of $77,000,000 over the budget request. The Committee provides $55,959,000, of which $10,000,000 is available for NIF diagnostics, cryogenics and experimental support to achieve the 2010 ignition goal. The Committee recommendation includes $25,000,000 to continue development of high average power lasers and supporting science and technology within the Inertial Fusion Technology program line. The Committee provides $111,419,000 for construction of the National Ignition Facility (NIF), the same as the budget request.
