For fiscal year 2003, notwithstanding 31 U.S.C. 6303(1) and 6305(1), the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, in carrying out the Agency’s function to implement directly Federal environmental programs required or authorized by law in the absence of an acceptable tribal program, may award cooperative agreements to federally-recognized Indian Tribes or Intertribal consortia, if authorized by their member Tribes, to assist the Administrator in implementing Federal environmental programs for Indian Tribes required or authorized by law, except that no such cooperative agreements may be awarded from funds designated for State financial assistance agreements. None of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act shall be used to promulgate a final regulation to implement changes in the payment of pesticide tolerance processing fees as proposed at 64 Fed. Reg. 31040, or any similar proposals. The Environmental Protection Agency may proceed with the development of such a rule. The Environmental Protection Agency may not use any of the funds appropriated or otherwise made available by this Act to implement the Registration Fee system codified at 40 Code of Federal Regulations Subpart U (sections 152.400 et seq.) if its authority to collect maintenance fees pursuant to FIFRA section 4(i)(5) is extended for at least 1 year beyond September 30, 2002. Section 136a–1 of title 7, U.S.C. is amended— (1) in subsection (i)(5)(C)(i) by striking ‘‘$17,000,000 fiscal year 2002’’ and inserting ‘‘$21,500,000 for fiscal year 2003’’; (2) in subsection (i)(5)(H) by striking ‘‘2002’’ and inserting ‘‘2003’’; (3) in subsection (i)(6) by striking ‘‘2002’’ and inserting ‘‘2003’’; and (4) in subsection (k)(3)(A) by striking ‘‘2002’’ and inserting ‘‘2003’’. As soon as practicable after the date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency shall enter into a cooperative agreement with the National Academy of Sciences to evaluate the impact of the final rule relating to prevention of significant deterioration and nonattainment new source review, published at 67 Fed. Reg. 80186 (December 31, 2002). The study shall include— (1) increases or decreases in emissions of pollutants regulated under the New Source Review program; (2) impacts on human health; (3) pollution control and prevention technologies installed after the effective date of the rule at facilities covered under the rulemaking; (4) increases or decreases in efficiency of operations, including energy efficiency, at covered facilities; and (5) other relevant data. The National Academy of Sciences shall submit an interim report to Congress no later than March 3, 2004, and shall submit a final report on implementation of the rules.
