Noble 116045 Chairman, United States Synthetic Fuels Corporation Dear Mr. Noble: Subject: TheJnited States Synthetic Fuels Corporation's Project Selection Guidelines Need Clarification) (EMD-81-129) The General Accounting Office (GAO) was asked to testify on July 29, 1981, before the Subcommittee on Fossil and Synthetic Fuels of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce. The pur- pose of the hearings was to assess the United States Synthetic Fuels Corporation's (SFC's) proposed project selection guidelines that were released on April 9, 1981, for public comment. Specif- ically, GAO was asked to comment on the proposed guidelines based, among other things, on our previous work concerning the project selection process of the Department of Energy's (DOE's) alternative fuels program. I/ The hearings were postponed until September. In the interim, we are providing you our comments and recommendations for clar- ifying the guidelines and for implementing the selection process. We recognize that the SFC is currently without a Board of Directors, and until at least four Board members are confirmed, the SFC cannot set policy. However, we believe that these issues are of sufficient importance that the SFC should devise proposals for addressing them. These could be reviewed by the Board of Directors when it convenes. Our comments and recommendations are based on a preliminary review of the proposed guidelines. We met with SFC officials, reviewed the public comments received by the SFC, and compared the SFC's proposed guidelines to DOE's project selection process for the alternative fuels program. i/3Special Care Needed in Selecting Projects for the Alternative Fuels Program (EAD-81-36, Dec. 8, 1980).
