Title: Chief Financial Officer's Task Force on rationing feasibility, cost and schedule. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5534677

A realistic assessment of the feasibility, cost, and time frame for bringing a rationing program to 90-day readiness is reported. The basic aspects of the nature of the rationing plan are discussed. The plan has been changed in several respects in response to comments from the Congress, the general public, and the ECC, since the previous version was rejected by the Congress in May 1979. Changes that impact the preimplementation process are listed. Attachment I describes the rationing plan and contains a chart depicting the interaction of the principal components. Attachment II shows a comparison of the November 1979 supplemental budget estimates with the cost estimates currently developed. The November 1979 supplemental budget request split the scope of rationing preimplementation into sixteen work packages. Attachment III gives a detailed description of the costs associated with each work package. Attachment IV describes the proposed organization of an independent office set up to manage the preimplementation effort. Attachment V discusses procurements and expedited contracting procedures and the role of public information is described in Attachment VI. Additional information is included on measures that should be taken to implement the plan and a list of participants on the Chief Financial Officer's Task Force is given. (MCW)
