Federal organization for nonnuclear energy research and development activities of departments and agencies other than ERDA: FY 1976
The purpose of this report is to summarize the activities of Federal departments and agencies, other than the Energy Research and Development Agency (ERDA), in energy R and D. Approximately $2.115 billion will be spent in fiscal year 1976 for Federal energy R and D by these departments and agencies: ERDA; Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC); Environmental Protection Agency; Department of the Interior; National Science Foundation; Departments of Transportation, Defense, Agriculture, and Commerce; and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The R and D efforts will be directed toward five program areas: fossil energy (coal, oil, gas, and shale), solar and geothermal, conservation, nuclear energy, and environmental control. Research support programs of the energy R and D programs will fund basic research and studies of environmental effects. Information, provided for each department and agency except ERDA, includes an identification of the units with principal energy R and D responsibilities, anticipated energy R and D funding, and program area details. Because the emphasis of this report is on non-nuclear energy, the NRC is covered briefly. Although the Federal Energy Administration is not listed as an agency with a direct energy R and D program, information is presented on its R and D program. (BYB)
