Such development would result ,n new towns and would cause some existing communities to double, triple, and quadruple their popuia tions in a Qw years. This, in turn. would cause ch .'ges in the social patterns ard life styles of some small communities and strain or deplete their economic resources. The need for housing and basic public facilities and services often arises before adequate local funding is available to provide then. The need for additional Federal assistan:e at %%. tis time has not been d, nonstrated. If. how- ever, the Congress does wish to further help Rocky Mountain communities, GAO euorn- mends that any such assistance be contingent on the States doing three things: tak,'g ac tions to meet a mi' imum level of assirtance to communities affected by energy development: developing plans to systematically dcei! with the impacts, and clea-ly demonstrating in their plans that the assistance would actually be used to help energy-affected communities.
