The Interagency Task Force on Acid Precipitation, which manages the National Program, has developed this Operating Research Plan to ensure that diverse scientific findings are systematically organized to address the relevant policy questions. This detailed document supplements the more general National Acid Precipitation Assessment Plan (June 1982), and describes each project and how it relates to other activities and specific program outputs. This plan gives the technical and programmatic details on how the National Program's objectives will be met in each research area. The operating plan will be a dynamic document that will evolve with the Program, and be updated annually to track activities of the National Program and to project plans for future years. The Operating Research Plan is divided into two volumes. Volume I has several components. The assessment framework, at the end of this introductory section, describes how intricately the various parts of the National Program are interwoven and linked to one another to provide the information necessary for policy decisions. In the next section the comprehensive plans for each research area are outlined in detail, and include a description of the importance and scope of the research, the key questions being asked, the specific research objectives and the strategy for addressing these questions, the management of the task group and its activities, a summary of the major deliverables in the research area, the internal program linkages, as well as a section on the relationship of the federal effort to other programs.
