The House Appropriations Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development, and Related Agencies voted today to pass the fiscal year 2014 Energy and Water Development Appropriations bill to the full Appropriations committee. In its current form, the bill would provide $30.4 billion in funding—$2.9 billion below the fiscal year 2013 enacted level.
Among other federal agencies and programs, this bill includes funding for the Army Corps of Engineers, the Bureau of Land Management, and the Department of Energy. Notably, the bill would include funding for the Department of Energy loan guarantee program, mixed-oxide (MOX) fuel fabrication facility, small modular reactor program, and the United States Enrichment Corporation’s research, development, and demonstration program.
With little discussion, the bill was passed by a voice vote and will likely be voted on by the full House Appropriations Committee next week.
