Report Type Reports and Testimonies
Report Date April 10, 1992
Report No. RCED-92-145
Subject
Summary:

The Department of Energy (DOE) has implemented its technology development program for environmental cleanup and has funded major research and development projects. The program's funding for fiscal year 1992 is about $303 million, and DOE is requesting about $315 million for fiscal year 1993. The agency has not, however, developed measurable performance goals, overall cost estimates and schedules, and key decision points for evaluating program projects. Without these basic management tools, DOE will have a hard time determining what its objectives are, how best to achieve them, and when it has achieved them. Moreover, Congress will have difficulty determining what investments the program is making and what funding is needed.
