REPORT TO THE CONGRESS





BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL

OF THE UNITED STATES











Improvements Still Needed In

Federal Energy Data Collection,

Analysis, And Reporting


Two years ago GAO reported on the need to
improve Federal efforts in collecting, analyz-
ing, and reporting energy data. Because the
adequacy of Federal energy data continues to
be a controversial subject, GAO updated its
earlier effort and presented the results at
congressional hearings on March 9, 1976.

GAO pointed out that many basic problems
continue to persist. New energy data collec-
tion efforts for the most part have been piled
on top of old efforts, and efforts for im-
proved coordination have yet to show much
success.

GAO said establishment of a Department of
Energy and Natural Resources with an in-
dependent data collection component offers
the best long-term organizational solution to
energy problems, including energy data prob-
lems. In the interim, the Federal Energy
Administration could be strengthened to
make it a more credible and objective focal
point for Federal energy data efforts.
