A                    Senate Committee on Government Operations
                                  on S. 2872
                       A Bill to Extend the Federal Energy
                           Administration Act of 1974

:1

               My statement today first discusses three discrete areas

          which are of interest to this Committee in its consideration

          of S. 2872. These areas relate to (1) possible organizational

          changes to the Federal Energy Administration (FEA) which

          specifically address FEA's energy policy and regulatory
i.
          roles within the context of improving the Federal Govern-
.1
          ment's approach to energy problems, (2) the energy data

          issue, with emphasis on the need for credibility and

          objectivity in Federal energy data efforts, and

1A        (3) mandatory reporting requirements in the area of
          national energy conservation efforts.

 -            My remarks will be concluded with an overview of GAO's

I         efforts with respect to FEA's compliance and enforcement work

1{        and a brief discussion of some of our planned and recently

          completed efforts in other FEA responsibility areas.
