to research and develop precompetitive automotive technologies. The USABC is one of the largest ventures under the USCAR agreement and is the only USCAR consortium that currently receives significant federal funding (Thorpe, 1997~.

However, the committee noted that the financial contribution from Chrysler, Ford, and GM, which is leveraged not only by DOE, but also by other industry participants in the USABC, is significantly less than the financial contribution of the federal government. Some of the unspent DOE funding for Phase I is being carried forward to Phase II.

The responsibility for executing technical programs is vested in the technical advisory committee (TAC) , which includes the program managers for each USABC-funded battery technology, as well as technical representatives of the three automakers, EPRI, the electric utilities, the national laboratories, and DOE managers.

TAC program managers are supported by program teams, or work groups, for each technology; members of the teams are drawn from the TAC (see Figure 2-1~. These teams evaluate proposals, negotiate contracts, and manage USABC technical programs with battery companies and developers.

Most peer reviews involve all members of the TAC, including the managers from DOE, except when program managers may not be allowed to review proprietary information from competing programs. The program manager for the GM/Ovonic Ni/MH (nickel metal hydride)

DOE assigned programmatic responsibility for environmental, health, and safety issues associated with advanced batteries, including recycling, to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, which has conducted assessments of the advanced batteries under development by the USABC. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory has led the Advanced Battery Readiness ad hoc Working Group, which provides a forum for information for technology developers, the USABC, and regulatory agencies.
