In recent years the need to protect human health and the environment from pollution has become
clearly evident. The Federal Government has responded to this need by enacting far-reaching legisla-
tion which could cost an estimated half a trillion dollars over the next decade. Questions have been
raised on whether the environmental goals are too costly to achieve or whether the right balance has
been struck between environmental objectives and energy, economic, and social goals.

This study examines current and emerging issues relating to Federai involvement in the environental
protection area and represents the perspective used in organizing GAO audit efforts. ,
