IZ'8 General Accounting Office Mitigating Socioeconomic Impacts Of Energy Development A range of options and resources from local, regional, State, industrial, and Federal sources are available and being used by communities to plan for and/or mitigate adverse effects of new energy development or economic deterioration. How- ever, the ability of some communities to address these eco- nomic problems may be affected by funding reductions in some Federal programs under the President's economic recovery program. Faced with these cutbacks, communities will have to depend more on alternate sources, including in- ternally generated revenues and State and industry funding. It is important that State governments work with communi- ties and regional organizations to better understand impact assistance needs, remove unnecessary legislative and regula- tory barriers to revenue generation, encourage industry to share in the cost of mitigating impacts on a site-specific basis, and recognize energy impact assistance needs in establishing State funding priorities. The Federal Government, in determining the type and extent of Federal assistance to energy-impacted communities, needs to consider factors such as State and local governments' willingness to use resources available to them, including Federal mineral leasing revenues; the amount of industry assistance; and the difficulty in distinguishing the impacts caused by energy development from those caused by other types of economic development and the need to have sepa- rate Federal programs tied to the cause - energy development.
