Activities undertaken by the Department of Energy, in cooperation with the Department of Defense, to implement the development of synthetic fuels under the Defense Production Act of 1950 are discussed. This report covers the period from June 1980 through November 1981. It does not cover the transfer of projects to the US Synthetic Fuels Corporation, not the subsequent termination of the Colony Project. The report focuses on loan guarantee, price guarantee and purchase agreements negotiated or being negotiated for synthetic fuels through November 1981. As a result of evaluating proposals, the Department selected 2 projects for negotiations - one from Union Oil Company and one from the Oil Shale Corporation (TOSCO). Developments are summarized. A report from Union Oil Company on the Parachute Creek Shale Oil Program is included. (DMC)
