Bates, D M

Coordination between agencies involved in nonnuclear energy R and D is studied by looking at the legal requirements for interagency relationships in related legislation, and by examining the Energy Research and Development Administration's (ERDA) implementation of its coordinating responsibilities. The energy R and D legislation of the 93rd Congress emphasizes collaborative efforts between ERDA and other Federal and non-Federal departments, agencies, and groups. The legal stipulations for interagency cooperation are discussed as stated in the following laws: the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974; Federal Nonnuclear Energy Research and Development Act of 1974; the Solar Heating and Cooling Act of 1974; Geothermal (P.L. 93-410) and Solar Energy (P.L. 93-473) Research, Development and Demonstration Acts of 1974; and the National Science Foundation Authorization Act, 1976. These requirements range from mandatory requirements to permissive authority. Information is provided on actions that have been taken by ERDA to implement these legal requirements for coordination in energy R and D. (BYB)
