Department of Energy (DOE) Working Capital Fund (WCF) Support
The DOE WCF Board has extended the policy for using program funding to finance WCF activities.
NNSA programs will continue in FY 2012 to fund a pro rata share by Appropriation of certain DOE
Working Capital Fund activities. FY 2012 projected NNSA program allocations are as follows:
DOEnet ($237,000) for DOE telecommunications services; Financial Statement Audits ($4,188,000),
previously budgeted by the DOE Office of Inspector General; Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA)
Audits ($2,529,000) for procurement management; iManage ($3,679,000) for corporate systems that
support the DOE accounting, finance, procurement and budgeting processes; and Financial Control
Reporting Assessment ($1,396,000). The NNSA’s total contribution to the WCF from both Program
and Program Direction funds for FY 2012 is projected at $38,268,000.
The NNSA Weapons Activities appropriation projected allocation of the DOE Working Capital Fund for
FY 2012 is $8,049,000.
The Department has added $1,600,000 to Weapons Activities to support Department-wide efforts
through the Working Capital Fund. These resources will fund an update to the Funds Distribution
System and budget planning and execution efforts.
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) Support
The NNSA has an established program to target research opportunities for HBCU institutions to increase
their participation in national security-related research and to train and recruit qualified HBCU graduates
for employment within the nuclear security enterprise. The majority of the efforts directly support
program activities, and programs funded in the Weapons Activities appropriation plan to fund research
with the HBCU totaling up to approximately $6,000,000 in FY 2012, in areas including engineering,
material sciences, computational science, disaster modeling, and environmental sciences.
