REPORT BY THE U, S.



General Accounting Office






Potential Impacts O'f Reducing

Th, Evrirenmental Protection

Agency's Budget


EPA proposed to reduce its fiscal year 1983
operating budget by 12 percent to $961 mil-
lion (excludes funds for Construction Grants
and the Hazardous Waste Response Trust
Fund). This represents a reduction of $125
million from fiscal year 1982. Passage of
EPA's fiscal year 1983 appropriation on
September 30, 1982, at only a 4-percent
decrease (for operating programs) from the
1982 appropriation reduced many of the
anticipated impacts of the proposed 1983
budget reductions. However, information
on these predicted impacts is presented in
the report so that analogies can be drawn if
budget cuts are proposed in future years.
This report also addresses issues which
transcend the fiscal year 1983 proposed
budget, including

   --the long-range implications of reduc-
   tions to State grant assistance,

   --the evolving Federal/State partnership
   and its role in achieving environmental
   goals, and

   --the use of permit fees/user charges to
   replace Federal funding.
