Energy Policy: Changes Needed to Make National Energy Planning More Useful

摘要

This report examines the extent to which National Energy Policy Plans submittedto the Congress between 1979 and 1991 to conform with the provisions of title VII of the Department of Energy Organization Act. We also assessed whether changes in the planning requirements are warranted. The report contains a matter for consideration by the congress aimed at adjusting the timing and frequency of energy policy plans to give administrations time to develop their own comprehensive plans, allow for public participation, and integrate the plans with the additional requirements of the Energy Policy Act of 1992.
