I have pasted the entire report below. Click on the graphics to enlarge them.

Summary
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA’s) mission is to understand and predict changes in weather, climate, oceans, and coasts; to share that information with others; and to conserve and manage coastal and marine ecosystems and resources. NOAA’s work is divided among six line offices: National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Service (NESDIS), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), National Ocean Service (NOS), National Weather Service (NWS), Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR), and Office of Marine and Aviation Operations (OMAO). NOAA also has an overall Mission Support (MS) office, which provides planning, administrative, financial, information technology, and other services to the line offices. 

Congress provides NOAA, an agency of the Department of Commerce (DOC), with annual mandatory and discretionary appropriations. Mandatory appropriations generally form a small percentage of total NOAA funding and are disbursed to a variety of funds that support programs in NOS, NMFS, and OMAO. Discretionary appropriations typically are included in the annual Commerce, Justice, Science (CJS), and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. Discretionary appropriations support two broad accounts—operations, research, and facilities (ORF) and procurement, acquisition, and construction (PAC)—and a few smaller accounts. This CRS product focuses on NOAA’s FY2022 discretionary funding for ORF and PAC, and briefly describes supplemental appropriations. The product also notes potential issues for Congress, including NOAA’s climate-related activities, marine and aviation fleet support, and satellite operations. 

Agency Funding
NOAA requested a total of $7.19 billion in discretionary direct obligations for ORF and PAC for FY2022, including $6.92 billion in appropriations (Table 1). Direct obligations include annual appropriations, transfers, and recoveries from prior year obligations. In Division B of P.L. 117-103, Congress provided $6.11 billion for ORF and PAC in FY2022, including $5.83 billion in appropriations. The enacted amounts include $84.35 million for community project funding/congressionally directed spending (the first time Congress has included such Member requested funding since FY2012). The NOAA FY2022 enacted amount is $460 million above the FY2021 enacted level, $333 million over the FY2022 base level (the FY2021 enacted amount plus certain adjustments, such as inflation), and $1.08 billion below the FY2022 request. Over the past 10 years, enacted annual NOAA ORF and PAC direct obligation amounts peaked in FY2016 in adjusted dollars and in FY2022 in nominal dollars (Figure 1). 

Issues for Congress
According to NOAA’s FY2022 budget summary, the requested budget would have expanded investments in climate-related activities (research, observations, and forecasting; restoration and resilience; offshore wind; and equity), marine and aviation fleet support, and satellite operations (including observational satellites and space weather activities).

Climate-Related Activities
NOAA requested increases in FY2022 to existing activities and proposed new activities to implement Executive Order 14008, “Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad.” According to the agency, the requested climate-related increases and new expenditures totaled $855.1 million over the FY2022 base level. For example, two of NOAA’s largest funding increase requests included $40 million to develop a competitive process in NMFS to support large-scale nonfederal habitat restoration projects and $35 million to support additional coastal resilience activities in OAR. In the explanatory statement for P.L. 117-103, Congress did not provide the requested funds for the proposed NMFS and OAR activities but provided FY2021 enacted levels for certain activities and increased funding for other activities across the agency.

Marine and Aviation Fleet Support
NOAA, through OMAO and its Commissioned Officer Corp (NOAA Corps), maintains a variety of specialized ships and aircraft that gather oceanographic, atmospheric, hydrographic, and fisheries data to support the agency’s missions. For FY2022, the agency requested a total of $305 million for the PAC account to support platform improvements/tech infusion (including mid-life repair to the NOAA Ship Ronald H. Brown) and aircraft and vessel recapitalization (NOAA received $120 million in FY2021 for such activities). In the explanatory statement for P.L. 117-103, Congress provided NOAA with the funding it requested for ship repair ($63 million) but a lower amount than requested for the other vessel and aircraft activities (an additional $101.5 million).

OMAO also provides coordination, support, and guidance for uncrewed marine and aircraft systems (UxS) across NOAA through the Autonomous Uncrewed Technology Operations (AUTO) program. NOAA currently uses UxS for seafloor and habitat mapping, ocean exploration, marine mammal and fishery assessments, emergency response, and at-sea observations. In FY2022, the agency requested $15.6 million for AUTO in OMAO’s ORF account (it received $13.7 million in FY2021). In the explanatory statement for P.L. 117-103, Congress provided $14 million toward AUTO, with certain amounts to be used for external partnerships and data acquisition.

Satellite Operations
NOAA, through NESDIS, manages several portfolios of environmental satellites. NOAA requested changes in funding for some activities under these portfolios. For example, NOAA’s largest proposed increase was $455 million (for a total of $465 million) for the Geostationary Extended Observations (GeoXO) program, which contributes data to weather forecasts and detects and monitors environmental hazards (e.g., wildfires, smoke, fog). NOAA’s largest proposed decrease was $252.8 million for planned reductions in Polar Weather Satellite (PWS) activities. Congress approved the funding level decrease for PWS (explanatory statement for P.L. 117-103) and provided $150 million in total for GeoXO in FY2022 (communication with NOAA).

NOAA proposed and Congress approved some satellite budget structure changes in FY2020 and FY2021. For FY2022, NOAA requested to create two new subactivities (low-earth orbiting and space weather) to focus on portfolios of satellites and “maintain a flat overall budget.” In the explanatory statement for P.L. 117-103, Congress largely adopted NOAA’s FY2022 budget reorganization requests, with the exception of the proposed combining of funding for current programs with funding for next-generation satellite programs.

Enjoy!

AWWA Statement on EPA PFAS Health Advisories

G. Tracy Mehan III, Executive Director of Government Affairs for the American Water Works Association (AWWA), sent me this information on AWWA statement on EPA PFAS health advisories.

15 June 2022

This morning, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency released health advisories for four per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). Two of the health advisories are interim, for perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS), and two are final, for hexafluoropropylene dimer acid (HFPO-DA or GenX) and perfluorobutanesulfonic acid (PFBS).

The American Water Works Association (AWWA) issued the following statement:

Today, EPA released drinking water health advisories for four PFAS. Health advisories provide states and water utilities with a reference point as they evaluate potential contamination and appropriate responses to assure the safety of drinking water. The PFOA and PFOS advisory levels are extremely low and do not reflect the draft recommendations of EPA’s own expert Science Advisory Board review. The health advisory levels at parts per quadrillion, undetectable by modern laboratory methods.

AWWA is committed to both the protection of public health and decision-making based on the best available science. As a community of water professionals, we share EPA’s desire to keep harmful levels of PFAS out of the nation’s drinking water. We support setting national drinking water standards for PFAS that protect all consumers, including the most sensitive populations. We also stand for strong source water protection to prevent PFAS contamination and increased investment in PFAS research.

At the national level, EPA is already in the process of setting maximum contaminant levels for PFAS within the scientifically rigorous framework of the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). A proposal is expected in the fall. Through the SDWA regulatory process, many utilities are sampling for PFOA, PFOS and other PFAS to better understand where they occur and at what levels. They are sharing that information with their communities. It’s important that EPA complete this rulemaking process so that states, utilities, and consumers have a clear and consistent path forward for managing harmful levels of PFAS in drinking water.

These four health advisories reflect potential risk assuming 70 years of exposure. EPA’s support materials appropriately point consumers toward opportunities to reduce PFAS exposure in their daily lives, be it exposure through drinking water, food, dust, or other routes.

AWWA’s members are working diligently to manage the risk posed by PFAS in drinking water. At the low levels set in the health advisories, protecting source water from PFAS contamination is critical. AWWA urges Congress and other decision-makers to implement policies that keep harmful PFAS out of our communities, especially the nation’s drinking water supply.

                                                ######

Established in 1881, the American Water Works Association is the largest nonprofit, scientific and educational association dedicated to managing and treating water, the world’s most important resource. With approximately 50,000 members, AWWA provides solutions to improve public health, protect the environment, strengthen the economy and enhance our quality of life.

CRS Report: Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies: Overview of FY2022 Appropriations

Carol Hardy Vincent is the author of this CRS report: 'Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies: Overview of FY2022 Appropriations'. Good collection of agencies.

Summary
The Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies appropriations bill—often called the Interior bill—contains funding for about three dozen agencies and entities. They include most of the Department of the Interior (DOI) and agencies within other departments, such as the Forest Service (Department of Agriculture) and the Indian Health Service (Department of Health and Human Services). The bill also provides funding for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), arts and cultural agencies, and other organizations and entities. Issues for Congress include determining the amount, terms, and conditions of funding for agencies and programs.

P.L. 117-103, Division G, enacted on March 15, 2022, contained FY2022 appropriations of $40.52 billion for the Interior bill. The total included $38.07 billion in regular appropriations and $2.45 billion for wildfire suppression activities under an adjustment to the discretionary spending limit for FY2022. The $2.45 billion—the maximum amount available under law for FY2022—had been requested by the President, passed by the House, and contained in a Senate (Appropriations) Committee Majority Draft (SCMD) for FY2022. From the start of FY2022 on October 1, 2021, until March 15, 2022, Congress had provided continuing appropriations for Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies, generally at the FY2021 level.

The $40.52 billion total was broken out unevenly across the three major funding titles in the Interior bill, as is typically the case. DOI agencies in Title I received $14.52 billion, or 35.8% of the total. EPA, funded in Title II of the bill, received $9.56 billion, or 23.6% of the total. For about two dozen agencies and other entities funded in Title III, the law contained $16.44 billion, or 40.6% of the total. Nearly three-quarters of total funding ($29.54 billion, or 72.9% of the total) was for five agencies: EPA, Forest Service, Indian Health Service, National Park Service, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. The total did not include advance appropriations (which become available for obligation in future fiscal years) for the Indian Health Service, as had been requested by the President and included in the SCMD. However, advance appropriations were included for the Indian Health Service (among other agencies) in a separate law (P.L. 117-58, Division J).

The FY2022 enacted appropriation of $40.52 billion was $5.65 billion less than the President requested ($46.17 billion), $5.40 billion less than passed by the House ($45.91 billion), and $4.19 billion less than included in the SCMD ($44.70 billion). It also contained less funding for each of the three major titles of the bill than had been requested by the President, approved by the House, and contained in the SCMD. However, the FY2022 enacted appropriation was $2.00 billion more than the FY2021 enacted amount ($38.52 billion), with higher funding than FY2021 for each of the three bill titles.

In earlier action, President Biden had requested $46.17 billion for FY2022 for the Interior bill, including $43.72 billion in regular appropriations and $2.45 billion for wildfire suppression under the discretionary cap adjustment. The President’s FY2022 request also contained $7.68 billion in advance appropriations for the Indian Health Service, with the funding becoming available for obligation in FY2023. Including these advance appropriations, the President’s total request was $53.85 billion. For DOI agencies in Title I of the bill, the request was $16.28 billion, or 35.3% of the request. For EPA (Title II), the request was $11.23 billion, or 24.3% of the total. For the agencies and other entities in Title III of the bill, the request was $18.66 billion, or 40.4% of the total.

On July 29, 2021, the House passed H.R. 4502, containing FY2022 appropriations of $45.91 billion in Division E for the Interior bill. This total included $43.46 billion in regular appropriations and $2.45 billion for wildfire suppression under the cap adjustment. Of the $45.91 billion, DOI agencies in Title I would have received $16.02 billion, or 34.9% of the total; EPA would have received $11.35 billion, or 24.7% of the total; and agencies and entities in Title III would have received $18.55 billion, or 40.4% of the total. The House-passed bill did not include advance appropriations for the Indian Health Service.

On October 18, 2021, the chair of the Senate Committee on Appropriations released the SCMD bill and draft explanatory text with $44.70 billion for Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies for FY2022. This total included $42.25 billion in regular appropriations and $2.45 billion for wildfire suppression under the cap adjustment. The SCMD contained an additional $6.59 billion in advance appropriations for the Indian Health Service beginning in FY2023. On October 20, 2021, S. 3034 was introduced reflecting the SCMD text; no further action was taken on this measure. Of the $44.70 billion, DOI agencies would have received $15.72 billion, or 35.2% of the total; EPA would have received $10.54 billion, or 23.6%; and agencies and other entities (in Title III) would have received $17.99 billion, or 40.2% of the total. The draft also contained $0.45 billion (1.0% of the total) in a new Title IV, for infrastructure projects.

Introduction
This report focuses on FY2022 discretionary appropriations for Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies. Issues for Congress include determining the amount of funding for agencies and programs in the bill and the terms and conditions of such funding.

The focus of this report is the regular, annual appropriations for the Interior bill. This report first presents a short overview of FY2022 legislative action. It next provides an overview of the agencies and other entities funded in the Interior bill. It then describes the FY2022 appropriations for Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies requested by President Biden, passed by the House, contained in a draft released by the chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, and enacted into law. (Hereinafter, the Senate Committee Majority Draft generally is referred to as the SCMD.) Subsequently, the report briefly compares FY2021 and FY2022 regular appropriations. Finally, it provides a table showing each agency’s regular appropriations enacted for FY2021, requested by the President for FY2022, passed by the House for FY2022, contained in the SCMD for FY2022, and enacted into law for FY2022. Agency and bill totals in this report generally reflect rescissions.

Appropriations are complex. Budget justifications for some agencies are large (often a few hundred pages long) and contain numerous funding, programmatic, and legislative changes for congressional consideration. Further, appropriations laws provide funds for numerous accounts, activities, and sub-activities, and their accompanying explanatory statements provide additional directives and other important information. This report does not provide in-depth information at the agency, account, and subaccount levels, nor does it generally detail budgetary reorganizations or legislative changes proposed or enacted for FY2022. For information on a particular agency or on individual accounts, programs, or activities administered by a particular agency, see theCongressional Research Service(CRS) products footnoted throughout this report or contact the key policy staff listed at the end of this report. In addition, selected reports related to appropriations for Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies, such as individual agencies (e.g., National Park Service) or cross-cutting programs (e.g., Wildland Fire Management), are listed under “Interior & Environment Appropriations” on the “Appropriations” Issue Area page on the CRS website,

Lots more to see!

And...


Enjoy!
