Department of Energy FY 2012 Congressional ... - The FIRE Place

Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation
Proposed Appropriation Language
For Department of Energy expenses, including the purchase, construction, and acquisition of plant and
capital equipment and other incidental expenses necessary for defense nuclear nonproliferation
activities, in carrying out the purposes of the Department of Energy Organization Act (42 U.S.C.
7101 et seq.), including the acquisition or condemnation of any real property or any facility or for plant
or facility acquisition, construction, or expansion, and the purchase of not to exceed one passenger
motor vehicle for replacement only, $2,549,492,000, to remain available until expended: Provided,
That of the unobligated balances available under this heading, $30,000,000 are hereby permanently
cancelled; Provided further, That no amounts may be cancelled from amounts that were designated by
the Congress as an emergency requirement pursuant to the Concurrent Resolution on the Budget or the
Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as amended.
Explanation of Change
Change from the language proposed in FY 2011 consists of a change to the requested funding amount
and a cancellation of unobligated balances. The Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation cancellation of
unobligated balances of $30 million is associated with the completion of the Elimination of Weapons
Grade Plutonium Production Program and was proposed for cancellation to offset requirements
elsewhere within DOE.
