This is the last budget the Obama administration will compile, and it is expected to get a poor reception from the Republican Congress (if it receives much attention from Capitol Hill at all). The President said his budget would build on the global climate accord, signed in Paris in December, to develop a “climate smart economy” with new investments in transportation and clean energy. It would prepare communities for the onset of climate change, protect natural resources, and show an even greater commitment to reducing global carbon emissions. The budget calls for $32.5 billion for Department of Energy (DOE) programs, a 9­percent increase over the current fiscal year’s enacted level. The request would slate $12.6 billion specifically for science and energy programs. Clean energy research funding is set to double over https://www.nwppa.org/ebulletin/legislative/ 1/17 2/22/2016 Legislative Announcements | Northwest Public Power Association the next five years, with $1.6 billion to be spent in the next decade on developing climate infrastructure. There is also a proposal to increase DOE clean energy research and development spending from $6.4 billion in FY16 to $12.8 billion by FY21. Not surprisingly, the DOE budget plan requests no money for the Yucca Mountain project. It does include funding for a program, expected to cost $4.5 billion during the first decade, to create a pilot interim storage facility by 2021, a larger interim facility by 2025, and a final repository more than two decades later. Currently, about 70,000 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel is being stored at 72 commercial nuclear plants across the country (this would be beneficial to several operating and closed nuclear reactors in the states that NWPPA serves), and is growing by 2,000 metric tons a year, according to budget estimates. The budget request also would provide $89 million for DOE’s five­year program consisting of $452 million to finance the licensing of small modular reactors. NuScale, the company awarded the grant under the program, expects to submit a license application for its design by the end of the calendar year. NWPPA members Energy Northwest and UAMPS are participating in the project and support full funding for the program. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) request totals $8.2 billion in discretionary funding, an increase from current enacted levels ($8.1 million) but a decrease from the $8.6 billion that the Obama administration requested for the agency last year. Obama’s spending blueprint asks for a small increase in funding for the agency’s core https://www.nwppa.org/ebulletin/legislative/ 2/17 2/22/2016 Legislative Announcements | Northwest Public Power Association regulatory programs, but would cut state and tribal assistance grants. The Republican Congress has sought to cut the EPA budget over the last few budget cycles as a reaction to what it views as regulatory overreach by the agency in its rule making; specifically with regards to the EPA’s Clean Water Rule (Waters of the United States) and Clean Power Plan. The Interior Department’s $13.4 billion request is an effort to continue the President’s record of preserving land and wildlife while increasing the federal estate. The President’s budget fully funds the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) at $900 million, which would double current LWCF funding. The budget also includes $137.6 million for refuge land acquisition, including $58.7 million in current funding and $79 million in proposed permanent funding, an increase of $69.1 million above the 2016 enacted level. “This is a smart, innovative, and forward­looking budget that invests in Interior’s key missions – now and in the future – so we can continue to serve the American people,” said Interior Secretary Sally Jewell in a statement. “The president’s budget provides targeted investments to create economic opportunities by growing our domestic energy portfolio, building climate­resilient communities.” Republicans in Congress are not enthusiastic about the budget proposal. “The President’s final budget unfortunately doesn’t look much different than other years,” said Appropriations Chair Hal Rogers (R–Ky.). “It is a spending wish list that doesn’t reflect our real budgetary constraints and…would saddle hard­working Americans with additional taxes and fees.” https://www.nwppa.org/ebulletin/legislative/

Monnes Anderson Senate Committee on Rules REVENUE: No revenue impact FISCAL: No fiscal impact Action: Be Adopted Vote: 3 - 0 - 2 Yeas: Ferrioli, Starr, Rosenbaum Nays: 0 Exc.: Beyer, Burdick Prepared By: Erin Seiler, Administrator Meeting Dates: 3/3 WHAT THE MEASURE DOES: Honors William “Bill” Johnson for being first American male to win gold medal at Olympic Games in Alpine event. ISSUES DISCUSSED: Life of Bill Johnson Skiing accomplishments Attitude and personality towards skiing Crash and current state of health EFFECT OF COMMITTEE AMENDMENT: No amendment. BACKGROUND: William Dean "Bill" Johnson is a former World Cup alpine ski racer raised in Brightwood, Oregon. He was the first American male to win an Olympic gold medal in alpine skiing, winning the downhill at the 1984 Winter Olympics in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia. He was the first racer (of either gender) from outside the Alps to win an Olympic downhill. After his historic win at the Olympics, Bill Johnson went on to take two more World Cup downhill victories in Aspen and Whistler that season. Mr. Johnson mounted an improbable comeback bid for the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, unfortunately the comeback ended abruptly on March 22, 2001, when Johnson crashed during a training run prior to the downhill race of the 2001 U.S. Alpine Championships, held at The Big Mountain near Whitefish, Montana. He sustained serious injury to the left side of his brain. Since 2010, he has lived in Gresham, Oregon under continuous care in a long-term facility.
