The two-volume document presents GRI's 1988-1992 Research and Development (RandD) Plan and the 1988 RandD Program submitted to the Federal Regulatory Commission (FERC) for approval. Volume I presents background information, planning framework, and the proposed 1988-1992 RandD plan detailing rationale, objectives, goals, accomplishments, strategies, and milestones for each of GRI's overall objectives (Supply Options, End Use, and Gas Operations), and for GRI's Crosscutting Research. Volume II is an executive summary of the plan. The 1988 program proposes an obligations budget of $174.9 million of which $146.7 million is for contract RandD obligations (26.8% to supply research, 56.0% to end use research, 12.8% to gas operations research, and 4.4% to crosscutting research). A funding unit of 1.59 cents per thousand cubic feet is also proposed. In 1988, GRI expects to supplement its RandD Program with $36.5 million and $48.4 million in coordinated funding, respectively, from government agencies and the industry.
