21 $7,525,000 are permanently canceled. The Administrator

22 of the Environmental Protection Agency shall allocate the

23 amount of budgetary resources canceled among the agen24 cy’s accounts available for procurement and procurement25 related expenses. Amounts available for procurement and
65

HR 4624 PP

1 procurement-related expenses in each such account shall

2 be reduced by the amount allocated to such account. For

3 the purposes of this paragraph, the definition of ‘‘procure4 ment’’ includes all stages of the process of acquiring prop5 erty or services, beginning with the process of determining

6 a need for a product or service and ending with contract

7 completion and closeout, as specified in 41 U.S.C. 403(2).

8 Ω86æNone of the funds provided in this Act may be

9 used within the Environmental Protection Agency for any

19 22814.

20 Ω88æSENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING THE

21 ENVIRONMENTAL SELF-EVALUATION PRIVILEGE

22 (a) FINDINGS.—The Senate finds that—

23 (1) The intended effect of environmental protec24 tion statutes passed over the past three decades is to
66

HR 4624 PP

1 improve and protect the natural and human environ2 ment.

3 (2) The President’s National Performance Re4 view concluded that the environmental laws and regu5 lations implemented over the past decade have led to

6 significant improvements in environmental quality.

7 (3) The National Performance Review further

8 concludes that many of these laws, however, place a

9 very real cost burden on local governments. Localities

10 now struggle to comply with new requirements of the

11 Safe Drinking Water Act, the Resource Conservation

12 and Recovery Act, the Clean Water Act, the Clean Air

13 Act, and Superfund, with little or no prospect of sig14 nificant increases in Federal grants and only limited

15 availability of loans in the future.

16 (4) The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

17 estimates that, by the year 2000, local governments

18 will need to spend nearly $44,000,000,000 annually

19 to meet existing requirements.

20 (5) The National Performance Review states:

21 ‘‘With the opportunity to ‘reinvent’ the way EPA

22 works with State and local governments, EPA has a

23 chance to significantly increase the effectiveness of our

24 Nation’s environmental programs.
67

HR 4624 PP

1 (6) The National Performance Review acknowl2 edged that there are numerous examples where the

3 failure of EPA to devise better ways to protect the en4 vironment affordably may result in just the opposite

5 of the intended effect.

6 (7) To further the goals of protecting and im7 proving the natural and human environment, the

8 States of Oregon, Indiana, Kentucky and Colorado

9 have passed laws establishing an ‘‘environmental self10 evaluation privilege’’.

11 (8) The EPA is currently considering modifying

12 its existing environmental auditing policy.

13 (b) SENSE OF THE SENATE.—It is the sense of the Sen14 ate that—

15 (1) The National Performance Review is correct

16 in stating that EPA must recognize that increased

17 regulatory flexibility offers tremendous opportunity

18 for positive institutional change at Federal, State and

19 local levels.

20 (2) EPA must take advantage of these opportuni21 ties by finding ways to allow flexibility without com22 promising fairness, accountability and, above all, per23 formance.

24 (3) The EPA should seriously consider the ‘‘envi25 ronmental self-evaluation privilege’’, as enacted into
68

HR 4624 PP

1 law by the States of Oregon, Indiana, Kentucky and

2 Colorado, as a low-cost opportunity to increase per3 formance toward the intended effect of environmental

4 protection statutes to improve and protect the natural

5 and human environment.

3 ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

4 (INCLUDING TRANSFER OF FUNDS)

5 Ω102æOf the budgetary resources available to the Na6 tional Aeronautics and Space Administration during fiscal

7 year 1995, $59,003,000 are permanently canceled. The

8 Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Ad9 ministration shall allocate the amount of budgetary re10 sources canceled among the agency’s accounts available

11 for procurement and procurement-related expenses.

12 Amounts available for procurement and procurement-re13 lated expenses in each such account shall be reduced by

14 the amount allocated to such account. For the purposes

15 of this paragraph, the definition of ‘‘procurement’’ in16 cludes all stages of the process of acquiring property or

17 services, beginning with the process of determining a need

18 for a product or service and ending with contract comple19 tion and closeout, as specified in 41 U.S.C. 403(2).

20 Notwithstanding the limitation on the availability of

21 funds appropriated for ‘‘Human space flight’’, ‘‘Science,

22 aeronautics and technology’’, or ‘‘Mission support’’ by this

23 appropriations Act, when any activity has been initiated

24 by the incurrence of obligations for construction of facili25 ties as authorized by law, the amount available for such

26 activity shall remain available until expended. This provi-
79

HR 4624 PP

1 sion does not apply to the amounts appropriated in ‘‘Mis2 sion support’’ pursuant to the authorization for repair, re3 habilitation and modification of facilities, minor construc4 tion of new facilities and additions to existing facilities,

5 and facility planning and design.

6 Notwithstanding the limitation on the availability of

7 funds appropriated for ‘‘Human space flight’’, ‘‘Science,

8 aeronautics and technology’’, or ‘‘Mission support’’ by this

9 appropriations Act, the amounts appropriated for con10 struction of facilities shall remain available until Septem11 ber 30, 1997.

12 Ω103æNotwithstanding the limitation on the availabil13 ity of funds appropriated for ‘‘Mission support’’, amounts

14 made available by this Act for personnel and related costs

15 and travel expenses of the National Aeronautics and Space

16 Administration shall remain available until September 30,

17 1995 and may be used to enter into contracts for training,

18 investigations, cost associated with personnel relocation,

19 and for other services, to be provided during the next fiscal

20 year.

21 No amount appropriated pursuant to this or any

22 other Act may be used for the lease or construction of

23 a new contractor-funded facility for exclusive use in sup24 port of a contract or contracts with the National Aero25 nautics and Space Administration under which the Admin-
80

HR 4624 PP

1 istration would be required to substantially amortize

2 through payment or reimbursement such contractor in3 vestment, unless an appropriations Act specifies the lease

4 or contract pursuant to which such facilities are to be con5 structed or leased or such facility is otherwise identified

6 in such Act. The Administrator may authorize such facil7 ity lease or construction, if he determines, in consultation

8 with the Committees on Appropriations, that deferral of

9 such action until the enactment of the next appropriations

10 Act would be inconsistent with the interest of the Nation

11 in aeronautical and space activities.

12 The unexpired balances of prior appropriations to

13 NASA for activities for which funds are provided under

14 this Act may be transferred to the new account established

15 for the appropriation that provides funds for such activity

16 under this Act. Balances so transferred may be merged

17 with funds in the newly established account and thereafter

18 may be accounted for as one fund to be available for the

19 same purposes and under the same terms and conditions.

7 United States in the property, including all improvements

16 Ω106æOf amounts made available within this Act to
