The Acid Precipitation Act of 1980 (Title VII of the Energy Security Act of 1980, Public Law 96-294) established the Interagency Task Force on Acid Precipitation to develop and implement the National Acid Precipitation Assessment Program (NAPAP). The purpose of NAPAP is to increase the authors understanding of the causes and effects of acidic deposition, and to produce scientific information to support decisionmaking regarding acidic deposition control and abatement strategies. The Report, the Program's seventh, is divided into three major sections. The first section describes the Program's organizational structure, external coordination activities, peer reviews, and budgetary status. It also includes a discussion of the NAPAP assessment process, and provides a synopsis of NAPAP's plan and schedule for 1989 and 1990 assessment reports.
