Special udr eNeeded In Selecting

Projects For The Alternative Fuels Program

Under the Alternative Fuels Program,
the Department of Energy is providing
financial incentives to expedite the
development of alternatives to im-
ported oil. GAO reviewed the Depart-                  I
ment's procedures and criteria for               I  II   ii
soliciting, evaluating, and selecting the
recipients of feasibility study and
cooperative agreement grants.                     114246

GAO believes that the technical evalua-
tions of the proposals were reasonably
comprehensive and thorougn and that
evaluation criteria were appropriate and
consistently applied. However, the
Department's frequent use of policy
factors, such as geographic diversity,
to alter technical rankings during the
final selection of projects, heightens
GAO's concerns regarding the integrity
of the selection process. This is an area
which will require close attention and
one where the Department will have to
exercise special care to avoid any in-
ferences of impropriety in future proj-
ect selections.
