Energy: issues facing the 95th Congress
This report discusses the assessment of major energy questions within the context of 13 program areas: conservation; petroleum and natural gas regulatory programs; energy information and analysis; Strategic Petroleum Reserve; Federal energy organization; electricity; pipeline rights-of-way; Outer Continental Shelf; public lands; fossil-energy development; nuclear-power development; renewable resources development; and international concerns. The relevant programs of these broad areas under the following agencies are discussed: Federal Energy Administration; Federal Power Commission; Nuclear Regulatory Commission; Department of the Interior; and Energy Research and Development Administration. A framework and perspective are provided for considering energy issues that will be facing the Congress--on an agency-by-agency basis--and that should be useful to congressional committees in reviewing programs and needs of the energy agencies as consideration is given to questions of organizing the energy agencies, setting priorities and goals, and resolving trade-offs and conflicts inherent in these priorities and goals.
