aIn addition to the base of $19.7 million, DOC through the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s Advanced Technology program has selected


relevant projects with requested funding of $30.1 million. Contracts are not yet in place for these selected proposals.b


CDOD numbers are based on program personnel contact and are still tentative.
EPA numbers still in discussion.


NOTE: Numbers indicated in the table are specific to PNGV and identified as such. DOT program personnel indicate that an additional $20 million each
year is spent on R&D related to PNGV with dual purpose; in FY96, $1 million of the $20 million will be targeted specifically for PNGV.


KEY: DOC = Department of Commerce; DOD = Department of Defense; DOE = Department of Energy; DOI = Department of the Interior; DOT =
Department of Transportation; EPA= Environmental Protection Agency; NASA = National Aeronautics and Space Administration; NSF = National
Science Foundation; PNGV= Partnership for a New Generation of Vehicles; R&D = research and development.
