DOE typically accounts for about 80% of the bill\u2019s funding.\nOverall Funding Totals\nPresident Donald Trump submitted his FY2027 budget request on April 3, 2026. The request includes $67.597 billion in discretionary appropriations for energy and water development agencies, an increase of $5.866 billion (10%) above the FY2026 enacted amount, excluding emergency appropriations, mandatory appropriations, rescissions, offsets, and adjustments. The E&W budget request for FY2027 includes offsets totaling $4.917 billion from unobligated appropriations transferred from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (P.L. 117-58). \nEnergy and Water Development Appropriations, FY2026 and FY2027 Actions\n(in millions of nominal dollars and % change from FY2026 enacted)\nAgencyFY2026 EnactedFY2027 Request\n(% Change)\nU.S. Army Corps of Engineers10,435 6,663 (-36%)\nBureau of Reclamation/CUP1,650 1,292 (-22%)\nDepartment of Energy49,12459,330 (21%)\nIndependent Agencies522 312 (-40%)\nTotal Appropriations61,73167,597 (10%)\nRescissions and Offsets-3,692-4,917\nAdjusted Total58,03962,680 (8%)\n\nSources: P.L. 119-74 and related H.R. 6938 explanatory statement; President\u2019s FY2027 Budget Appendix, https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/appendix_fy2027.pdf.\nNotes: Enacted amounts do not include supplemental or reconciliation appropriations. CUP = Central Utah Project.\nSelected Key Issues\nZero Funding Request for Wind, Solar, and Hydrogen Research and Development (R&D). No appropriations are requested for FY2027 for Wind, Solar, and Hydrogen R&D, which received $480 million in FY2026. \nProposed Elimination of Federal Regional Commissions and Authorities. All but one of the federal regional commissions and authorities would be terminated by the FY2027 request; the Appalachian Regional Commission annual appropriation would be reduced from $200 million in FY2026 to $120 million in FY2027 (-40%). \nRequested Increase for National Nuclear Security Administration. The FY2027 request for the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is $7.398 billion (29%) over the FY2026 enacted amount of $25.404 billion. NNSA is a semiautonomous DOE agency responsible for nuclear warheads, nuclear weapons nonproliferation, and naval reactor R&D.\nUSACE Account Reorganization. The budget request proposes a 36% cut to USACE and a new District Salaries and Expenses account. This account would fund the salaries of USACE district and field office employees, plus other operational costs, separately from direct study and project costs, which would be funded in traditional study and project accounts.", "https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/R/PDF/R48944/R48944.3.pdf", "https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/R/HTML/R48944.html"]], "columns": ["id", "title", "publish_date", "update_date", "status", "content_type", "authors", "topics", "summary", "pdf_url", "html_url"], "primary_keys": ["id"], "primary_key_values": ["R48944"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.4384800558909774, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
