Temporary Relief from the Budget Control Act of 2011 The Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 • Sets overall discretionary spending for the current fiscal year at $1.012 trillion—about halfway between the Senate budget level of $1.058 trillion and the House budget level of $967 billion. • The agreement would provide $63 billion in sequester relief over two years, split evenly between defense and non-defense programs. • In fiscal year 2014, defense discretionary spending would be set at $520.5 billion, and non-defense discretionary spending would be set at $491.8 billion. • Sequester relief in 2014 and 2015 is fully offset by savings elsewhere in the federal budget.

Impact of Funding Reductions on Purchasing Power • EM’s funding is divided between two main categories: The costs of maintaining a safe, secure and operations ready posture (“Maintenance Dollars”) and the costs of performing active cleanup work (“Progress Dollars”). • Funding reductions disproportionately impact “Progress Dollars,” since maintenance costs are largely fixed. • High maintenance costs are driven in part by the 78 Hazard Category 2 and 3 Nuclear Facilities managed by EM (more than any other DOE program). Remaining dollars available for progress continues to decrease Inflation continues to increase maintenance/ support costs
Complete evaluation of infrastructure and maintenance activities in order to: • Identify specific activities • Understand requirements driving those activities • Compare information/best practices across sites Path Forward Hanford River Corridor cleanup • Evaluate effectiveness of improvements on an annual basis, propose improvements to the initiatives, and implement best practices complex-wide Idaho facility demolition
EM Online Timeline • EM is developing a timeline that will show historical accomplishments at each site and tell the story of the EM mission. • The timeline will be viewable at the complex level and will also be viewable by site, by state, and by mission area. • Links to videos, photos, documents, presentations, and other materials for each event will provide a wide range of historical information in one centralized location. • The timeline is not a static application and will be updated as accomplishments warrant. Planned, future events may be added at a later time.
