The tables in this appendix
(C1
through C4) document annual Federal energy research and development
appropriations illustrated in Figures 2 through 6 in Chapter 3. The tables
also document the allocation of Department of Energy budget line items
into the programmatic groupings discussed in Chapter 3. Most of the data
are taken from an internal appropriations tally maintained by the Office
of the Chief Financial Officer within the Department of Energy. This tally
is considerably more detailed than the budget presentations in the Budget
of the United States Government. As in any data set, however, it is
best to know exactly what is being measured. Thus, users of this data set
should be aware of the following considerations:
- Data are for appropriations and not
for outlays, with the exception of the Clean Coal Technology Program, for
which both outlays and appropriations are shown.
- The appropriations shown are for
final spending authority, after any subsequent reprogramming and
supplemental appropriations have been made. Thus, the figures shown are
not necessarily identical with the figures appropriated by the Congress in
each year's budget. There were several instances of large-scale
reprogramming of Departmental funds in the early 1980s.
- FY 1999 appropriations are
estimated.
- The term "unallocated" is
used to describe budget items that cannot be attributed to particular
fuels or energy types. Much of this spending is administrative
"overhead" within the Department of Energy and capital and
operating costs of the national laboratories. However, because overhead
costs have not been treated uniformly over time and are not treated
uniformly by different offices within the Department of Energy, it is not
possible to use these figures to ascertain what portion of research and
development spending is actually devoted to overhead costs, nor to compare
overhead spending across programs.
