  Program Name	$ Change from 2025 Enacted (in millions)	Brief Description of Program and Recommended Reduction or Increase
  Cuts, Reductions, and Consolidations
  IIJA Cancellation	-15,247	The Budget cancels over $15 billion in funds committed to build renewable energy, removing carbon dioxide from the air, and other technologies. The Budget also ends programs for electric vehicle and battery makers and cancels the Carbon Dioxide Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act.
  Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE)	-2,572	The Budget reorients EERE programs to early-stage research and development programming, eliminating funding for Justice40. This proposal would support technologies that promote fossil-fuel and nuclear power and bioenergy.
  Office of Science	-1,148	The Budget reduces funding for climate change and renewable energy research. The Budget maintains priority areas such as high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, quantum information science, fusion, and critical minerals.
  Environmental Management (EM)	-389	The EM program performs activities at 14 active cleanup sites and operates a geologic disposal facility (Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, New Mexico). The EM topline is being reduced by $389 million, which reflects a reduction of about $178 million for the transfer of responsibility from the EM program to the National Nuclear Security Administration for the Savannah River site in South Carolina, where plutonium pit production capabilities would be developed. The Budget maintains the Hanford site in Washington at the 2025 enacted level but reduces funding for various cleanup activities at other sites.
  Advanced Research Project Agency‒ Energy (ARPA-E)	-260	The Budget reduces funding for ARPA-E, limiting support to research advancing fossil-fuel technologies and other technologies. Pollution-reducing technologies are not supported.
  Office of Nuclear Energy	-408	The Budget reduces funding for research on nuclear energy. Funding priorities include innovative concepts for nuclear reactors, researching advanced nuclear fuels, and maintaining the capabilities of the Idaho National Laboratory.
  Office of Fossil Energy	-270	The Budget restores the name and function of the Office of Fossil Energy to its original purpose, which is funding for the research of technologies that could produce an abundance of domestic fossil energy and critical minerals.
  Corps of Engineers—Civil Works (Corps)
  Cuts, Reductions, and Consolidations
  Harbor Maintenance Trust Fund (HMTF) Surplus	-1,071	The HMTF, whose funding is subject to annual appropriations, finances operation and maintenance projects for the Nation’s water channels. The Budget reduces funding for HMTF.
  Corps WIFIA program	-7	The Corps WIFIA program provides direct loans and loan guarantees for non-Federal dam safety projects. The Budget eliminates this program.
  Department of the Interior (DOI)
  Cuts, Reductions, and Consolidations
  Bureau of Reclamation and the Central Utah Project	-609	The Budget provides $1.2 billion for the Bureau of Reclamation and the Central Utah Project, eliminating funds for habitat restoration.
