The broad purpose of the FY 1982 activities was to inform the government and private sector about the technologies to conserve energy and to utilize renewable energy sources. The current approach to federal energy information activities places reliance on the following centralized channels: publication of results of programs through DOE's Technical Information Center (TIC), the National Technical Information Service of the Department of Commerce, and the Government Printing Office; maintenance by TIC of bibliographic data bases and abstracting capabilities; utilization of appropriate inquiry and referral services; and selective announcements of availability of data or reports. In addition to R and D activities, the following federal incentives complemented the FY 82 energy information activities: increased US exports, business incentives, loan guarantee program, business energy tax incentives, business energy investment credits, state energy conservation planning grants, energy extension service, appropriate technology small grants, weatherization assistance program, residential tax credit, vanpool investment tax, and schools/hospitals grants. Information activities are reported for the following federal agencies: ACTION, Department of Agriculture, Department of Commerce, Department of Energy, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Housing and Urban Development, Small Business Administration, Tennessee Valley Authority, and Department of Transportation.
