This second annual Comprehensive Program and Plan for Federal Energy Education, Extension and Information Activities continues to survey Federal outreach programs, to report on several considerations important to their effectiveness, and to provide a plan for their improved coordination. It provides individual Americans with the capability they need to adopt energy-saving measures. Outreach programs provide information and technical assistance tailored to communicate the importance of changes in energy-consumption patterns; the energy efficiency and renewable-fuel options available; and the associated short- and long-term cost savings. Thirteen Federal departments and agencies have reported 68 programs dedicated in whole or in part to energy-outreach activities. Chapter 1 describes in detail these energy-conservation programs and the use of renewable fuels. Chapter 2 addresses procedures for minimizing potential conflict of Federal energy education, extension, and information activities with those offered by the private sector, the relationship of these activities to other Federal assistance and incentive programs, and procedures for evaluating the effectiveness of Federal energy education, extension, and information efforts. The final chapter presents a plan of action for the coming year through which increased coordination of Federal energy education, extension, and information activities will be sought. (MCW)
