During the past four years, the Congress has enacted four major laws authorizing the Federal government to develop and implement specific energy-conservation programs. These include the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (state energy conservation program); Energy Conservation and Production Act of 1976 (weatherization assistance program); Energy Research and Development Administration Authorization Act of 1977 (EES); National Energy Conservation Policy Act of 1978 (schools, hospitals, public-care institution programs, and residential conservation services). In addition, there are three other programs: urban waste program, community systems program, and appropriate technology program. Based on a survey of DOE and other Federal agencies, fifty additional programs which have as a primary goal the provision of a service related to reducing energy demand have been identified throughout the Federal government and are included in this report. The main body of the report describes in detail coordination efforts related to all major Conservation and Solar Applications Office energy-conservation programs involving state and local governments. Following one-page summaries of Federal activities contained in Appendix A, Appendix B provides a matrix of the services provided.
