Abstract:

The President’s FY2007 budget request includes $7.32 billion for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), $390 million less than the $7.71 billion that Congress appropriated in FY2006. Although the President’s FY2007 request for EPA is an overall decrease compared with the enacted FY2006 appropriation, funding for some agency activities would increase. Proposed changes in funding for selected activities in which there has been broad congressional interest are characterized in this document.
