OSTI ID:6730316

This report presents a brief summary of the ERDA field organization. Summaries are included of the 12 ERDA Operations Offices, 17 Energy Technology Laboratoties, 15 Program-Dedicated Laboratories, and the 13 Production, Testing, and Fabrication facilities. The report summarizes the management role of ERDA's field structure, which consists of field offices, in-house laboratories, and government-owned, contractor-operated (GOCO) facilities. It summarizes as well the resources, activities, and capabilities of individual facilities, which represent a cumulative capital investment of $12 billion and involve a work force of 4600 ERDA and 95,000 contractor employees. ERDA's budget of $6 billion is disbursed by mission. Program responsibilities are organized so that the Headquarters office concentrates on program development and management and the field office concentrates on program execution. For the most part, the field facilities report administratively to field offices and programmatically to HQ program divisions. The primary focus of the laboratory activities is in the technology base of expertise provided by the approximately 30,000 scientists and engineers representing nearly all technical skills. (RWR)
