REPORT BY THE U S.



General Accounting Office


Analysis Of The Energy

Research And Development

Budget Proposal Process

The fiscal year 1983 energy research and
development budget is now with the Con-
gress for its consideration. This budget was
developed in 1981 by the Department of
Energy (DOE) and was reviewed by the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB).


In developing the budget, DOE and OMB did
not set priorities among program areas by
systematically applying planning and de-
cisionmaking criteria. Rather, thejudgment
of individual program managers, energy
policy reviewers, and budget decision-
;makers determined which projects were to
be funded or cut. While such judgments are
'essential to the budget process, the support
,or basis for them is seldom well docu-
mented. Therefore, efforts to evaluate the
,appropriateness of proposed energy re-
search and development projects' termi-
nations and funding levels are hampered.
