To help accomplish its strategic goals in the areas of defense, energy, science and the environment, the Department utilizes numerous interconnected computer networks and individual systems. Virtually all of the Department's systems are increasingly subjected to sophisticated attacks designed to circumvent security measures, trick unsuspecting users into divulging sensitive information or propagate harmful programs. A strong cyber security program is essential to minimizing adverse impacts on Department mission associated with successful attacks or intrusions and protecting operational, personally identifiable and other sensitive data from compromise. Overall, the Department expects to invest over $295 million in Fiscal Year (FY) 2006 to protect its annual $2 billion investment in infornlation technology resources.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has prepared an environmental assessment (EA) for a proposed action to demolish and remove 36 facilities from the West Valley Demonstration Project site in West Valley, New York. Based on the analyses in the EA and considering public comments, DOE has determined that the proposed action is not a major action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment.

The mission of the National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) Off-site Recovery Project (OSRP) is to recover unwanted radioactive sealed sources (sources) held in the piblic sector. thereby reducing the threat of the sources being used in radiological dispersal de\iices or a "dirty bomb." Plutonium-239 (Pu-239), one of the rildioactive sealed sources recovered by OSRP, requires additional safeguards because ~t is a special nuclear material. These sources were manufactured in the United States (Li S.) and loaned or leased to colleges and universilies, commercial companies and other coiintries by the Atomic Energy Commission. Due to the fact that they are on loan, they remain the property of the Department of Energy. As of May 2006, there were 772 outstanding Pu-239 sources, ecli~alinga pproxi~nately2 '7,300 grams that the OSRP had ycr to recover
