Introduction
For each fiscal year (which runs from October
through September), the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) develops a proposed
Budget. The Budget defines the goals and
objectives towards which the Agency intends
to work within the fiscal year and the
funding the Agency believes is necessary
to accomplish these goals and objectives.
This Budget is combined with the Budgets
of the rest of the Executive Branch and
is then sent by the President to the Congress
(this occurs in the first quarter of the
calendar year). The Congress then acts
on the various Budgets by developing,
amending, and, ultimately, passing bills
which enact the Budgets into law (normally
prior to the start of the fiscal year
covered by the budget). At this point
the enacted Budget becomes the blueprint
for the Agencys activities during
the next fiscal year.
The Summary of the EPAs
Budget (also known as the Budget
in Brief) provides an overview of
the Agencys Budget and of the Agency
activities as a whole. The Summary is
available online for fiscal years going
back to 1997.
The Annual Performance Plan
defines the Budgets goals and objectives
in greater detail. It also ties the annual
Budget to the five year Strategic Plan
of the Agency. The Annual Plan is available
online for fiscal years going back to
1999 (the first year in which it was developed).
The Congressional Justification
(sometimes known as the CJ)
is the formal title for the actual Budget
document which is submitted to Congress.
It is available online for fiscal years
going back to 1999.
Lastly, the Appropriations Links
link you to the Congressional web site
where the actual House Bills (designated
H.R.), Senate Bills (designated
S.), and Public Laws are available.
The Agencys Budget is only a portion
of the Bill which encompasses the Departments
of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban
Development as well as many independent
agencies of which the Environmental Protection
Agency is one (the Bill is often referred
to as the VA/HUD Bill). These
Bills and Laws are available online for
fiscal years going back to 1998.
