IN CONGRESS

Congress over the weekend completed work on an omnibus spending package for the remainder of FY 2015. For the Environmental Protection Agency, the measure provides a total funding level of $8.14 billion, down from last year’s $8.2 billion, but still significantly higher than the Obama Administration’s FY15 request of $7.89 billion. DOE Fossil Energy funding in the omnibus package totals $571 million for fossil energy research and development, well above the Obama Administration’s $475.5 million request. The spending package also rejects cuts to DOE CCS research and development programs called for in the Administration’s request and instead raises funding for CCS programs 44 percent above the request to $400 million, roughly two percent above FY14 funding.
