Superfund: Funding for the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5960746
Neither the Environmental Protection Agency nor the Office of Management and Budget is violating the law by reviewing or revising the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry's budget request before the President submits it to Congress. The review also does not violate section III (n) of the superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 which secures minimum funding for ATSDR that can only be changed by Congress. However, GAO believes that this provision prohibits EPA from specifying how ATSDR should spend superfund money. It is therefore recommending that EPA not place any restrictions on the use of funds earmarked for ATSDR under section III(n) of SARA.
