Summary:

The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) budget justifications for fiscal years 1999, 2000, and 2001 differ significantly from the agency's justifications for fiscal year 1998 and earlier years because they were organized according to the agency's strategic goals and objectives. This testimony discusses the difficulties that GAO experienced in comparing EPA's Science and Technology budget justifications for fiscal years 1999 and 2000 with the preceding years, the actions EPA took to improve the clarity and comparability of the fiscal years 2000 and 2001 justifications, and aspects of the fiscal year 2001 justification that still inhibit clear comparisons with prior year budgets.
