Table C1 in this appendix documents the annual Federal end-use energy research and development appropriations illustrated in
Figure 3 in Chapter 3. The table also documents 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.
- 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.
- Fiscal year 1999 appropriations are estimated.
- The term "unallocated" is used to describe budget items that cannot be attributed to particular programs or activities. 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.
See
also the discussion of "unallocated" of Chapter 3.
- Appropriations for the
"IRP" category shown in Table 25 of this report are not included here.
- Appropriations for regulatory (codes and standards) programs in the building technology sector for fiscal years 1992-1999
are excluded from Table C1. Expenditures for such programs before 1992 are included in the building technology
appropriations but cannot be disaggregated because of data limitations. See also the discussion of the programs in
Chapter 3.
