The Congressional Research Service works exclusively for the Congress, conducting research, analyzing legislation, and providing information at the request of committees, Mem- bers, and their staffs. The Service makes such research available, without parti- san bias, in many forms including studies, reports, compila- tions, digests, and background briefings. Upon request, CRS assists committees in analyzing legislative proposals and issues, and in assessing the possible effects of these proposals and their alternatives. The Service’s senior specialists and subject analysts are also available for personal consultations in their respective fields of expertise.

CRS-32 Interagency and State-Federal coordination mechanisms: Applicants for hydropower licenses must comply with prefiling requirements that they consult with the fish and wildlife agencies prior to filing an application with the Commission. Applications are not accepted for processing until the appli- cants have completed this consultation. FERC then requests comments on the application from the Federal and State fish and wildlife agencies. The applicant is provided the opportunity to respond to any agency comments. Also, under Section 4(e) of the Federal Power Act, the Corps of Engineers, the Department of the Interior, and the U.S. Forest Service may set such conditions as the Secretary of the department determines are necessary for the protection of aquatic resources and habitats and other resource values affected by hydroelectric projects occupying reservation lands. FERC staff issues a public environmental assessment or environmental impact statement that contains an analysis of the impacts and proposed mitigative measures, including a discussion of those measures recommended by the fish and wildlife agencies. A r Post-licensing coordination is accomplished through requirements contained in the license articles directing licensees to cooperate and coordinate with Federal and State fish and wildlife agencies and certain land management agencies in ensuring that protection of aquatic resources and habitats. A S C Coordination is accomplished by OPPR through special conditions or stipulations in certificates for natural gas pipeline projects which require cooperation and coordination between Federal and State fish and wildlife agencies and the applicant. In addition, the U.S. Forest Service, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Environmental Protection Agency, Minerals Management Service, Bureau of Land Management, and the Soil Conservation Service are often consulted on natural gas pipeline activities that may affect lands, wetlands, rivers, streams, and other water bodies (such as the Outer Conti- nental Shelf) or facilities under their respective management.

CRS-35 elements in varying degrees shifted funds to the regulatory and research efforts for EPA's hazardous waste program. while funding increases have benefited EPA's hazardous, toxic, and acid rain research efforts, other more traditional research efforts have remained the same or declined in past years. In particu- lar, EPA has focused its funding priorities on research directly in support of regulatory decisions and away from long-term and exploratory research, and control technology development as well. For FY86, immediate attention will be directed to those key programs which Congress decided needed funding emphasis or add-ons, while other attention will be devoted to programs which have remained the same or have decreased. While the 4.3 percent reduction will initially be evenly applied, reprogramming and perhaps transfers will, according to some, take away the evenness of the sequester order. Some research programs could then suffer more heavily inf such a reprogramming scenario. This gives the appropriation committees a mid-year, post sequestration reassessment period during which to evaluate funding emphasis. Transfers of appropriations between accounts (unlikely at this time) require changes in law, and would involve authorizing committees and the full Congress. As for the Superfund Research and Development Program, the Congress appropriated $900 million for Superfund, including 313 million for research, but prohibited obligation of the funds until Superfund reauthorization legisla- tion is enacted. Thus, Superfund research funding will not be affected by the sequestration until a later late.
