Synthetic Fuels Corporation's use of an expert panel and a staff assistance agreement

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6115521
The Chairman of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources requested that GAO review the propriety and evolution of the United States Synthetic Fuels Corporation's (SFC's) use of an expert advisory panel and the corporation's staff assistance agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency. GAO found nothing to indicate that either the use of the panel or the agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency was unauthorized under the Energy Security Act. GAO believes, however, that an earlier announcement of the formation of the panel to the SFC board and executives and earlier direction to panel members on the useful scope of the panel's deliberations would have been more prudent.
