STUDY SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES

In May 1993 the DOE's Acting Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy requested that the National Research Council assess DOE's coal program. In keeping with this request, the National Research Council formed the Committee on Strategic Assessment of the U.S. Department of Energy's Coal Program (see Appendix G for biographical sketches of committee members), to address the broad priorities that DOE's Office of Fossil Energy ought to consider in updating its strategic plan and in responding to EPACT. Recent or current DOE programs have addressed, or are addressing, many of the areas identified in EPACT.

The National Research Council committee was specifically charged as follows:

  • Review the DOE coal program, including the current version of the coal strategic plan and additional details contained in the administration's budget requests for fiscal year (FY) 1994 and FY 1995, as appropriate.
