The Energy and Water Development appropriations bill provides funding for civil works projects of the Army Corps of Engineers (Corps), for the Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation), the Department of Energy (DOE), and several independent agencies. President Obama's FY2015 budget request for Energy and Water Development was released in March 2014. The request totaled $33.68 billion, compared with a total of $34.06 billion appropriated for FY2014. The House approved the Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill for FY2015 by a vote of 253-170 on July 10, 2014 (H.R. 4923, H.Rept. 113- 486). Total funding in the House-passed bill was $33.99 billion, $308 million above the request. The House adopted several amendments that did not change the total funding level from the bill as reported by the Appropriations Committee. The Senate Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on Energy and Water Development approved its version of the bill on June 17, 2014, with a total of $34.21 billion. As of late August 2014, further Senate action had not been scheduled.
