## Provisions PRIA read

- Big new funding for clean energy research: benefit, high. If enacted, the bill would move $2.675 billion of unobligated balances into the Nuclear Energy account for small modular reactor awards, and transfer $100 million of that to the Title 17 loan program. It would provide $100 million to cover the cost of loan guarantees for eligible small modular and…
- Ban using funds to lobby Congress: benefit, low. If enacted, the bill would bar use of any funds made available by this Act to try to influence congressional action on pending legislation or appropriations, except for communications allowed under 18 U.S.C. 1913. The rule would apply to agencies and entities that receive funds under the Act.
- New limits on moving appropriated money: benefit, low. If enacted, agencies would not have to send reprogramming requests under $50,000 to the House or Senate Appropriations Committees. Title III funds could be moved only as this Act or other laws allow, and agency heads who use transfer authority must send semiannual reports listing amounts and purpos…
- More oversight for Nuclear Regulatory Commission: benefit, low. If enacted, the NRC would have to tell the Appropriations Committees 30 days before reprogramming that changes funding by more than $500,000 or 10 percent, whichever is less. The NRC could waive prior notice for safety or security reasons but must notify the Committees within three days with an exp…
- New checks on big DOE awards: cost, medium. If enacted, the Secretary of Energy would have to notify Appropriations Committees three full business days before many grants or contracts of $1,000,000 or more and provide quarterly lists of smaller awards within 15 days after each quarter. Projects or awards exceeding $100 million could not proc…
- Block pornography on funded networks: cost, low. If enacted, the bill would bar using money from this Act to set up or maintain a computer network that allows viewing, downloading, or exchanging pornography. An exception would allow funding where needed for Federal, State, Tribal, or local law enforcement investigations, prosecutions, or adjudica…
- Tighter rules for Corps water projects: mixed, high. If enacted, the bill would sharply limit how the Army Corps can reprogram and redirect Title I funds. It would set percent and dollar caps for Investigations, Construction, and Operation and Maintenance and require projects to be eligible under the Chief of Engineers before extra funds are allocate…
- Changes to Reclamation and San Luis costs: mixed, medium. If enacted, the bill would limit how the Bureau of Reclamation reprograms Water and Related Resources funds and require quarterly reprogramming reports. It would cap transfers (15 percent for programs with $2,000,000 or more; $400,000 for smaller programs; $500,000 between certain categories; $5,00…
- Limits on nuclear storage and SPR sales: mixed, medium.
