H.R. 4553: Energy and Water Development and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2026
This bill, H.R. 4553, primarily focuses on the appropriations for energy and water development for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. It allocates funds specifically for projects managed by the Corps of Engineers, detailing various amounts for operations, maintenance, and related projects, while also establishing strict guidelines regarding how these funds can be reprogrammed or utilized.
Funding for Nuclear Energy
The bill includes a provision to allocate $150 million for loan guarantees that would support the construction of eligible small modular or advanced nuclear reactors. It requires adherence to specific financing regulations for these guarantees and sets certain exclusions regarding project funding conditions. Importantly, it ensures that the authority to provide these loan guarantees cannot be utilized for federally supported projects unless they have received the appropriate certification.
Restrictions on Fund Use
In terms of fund management, the bill stipulates that funds drawn from this Act cannot be transferred to specific accounts unless expressly authorized. To maintain oversight, agencies are required to report on any transfers occurring on a semiannual basis. Furthermore, the bill explicitly prohibits the use of these funds to support initiatives or actions that would discriminate against individuals based on their religious beliefs regarding marriage or to impose any censorship of speech.
Overall Goals
The overarching aim of H.R. 4553 is to enhance energy infrastructure, specifically through the promotion of nuclear energy technology and efficient water resource management, while ensuring funds are used responsibly and with accountability.
