By statute, ElA provides routine, periodic data reports concerrung energy supply, demand, arid price forecasts for primary energy resources, fuels, and electricity; forecasts of energy supply and demand as reported in the Annual Energy Outlook; and other analyses. ElA reports are widely disseminated to Congress, the administration, and the public (EIA, 199Ob, 1990d)

NEMS is compatible with ElA's statutory obligations. Thus, ElA can sustain the evolution of the NEMS, expand its own Outreach simultaneously, and help NEMS stay current with relevant developments in other agencies and the private sector.

EMPLOYEE ENVIRONMENT The fun potential of the NEMS win be rearmed sooner and with greater assurance with the creation of an EIA employee environment that attracts and holds highly qualified professionals. It is critical that the architects of NEMS have both a broad view of the kinds of policy issues the system must addresses, and a broad and critical understanding of the merits and demerits of various modeling approaches.

Such expertise is currently In strong demand by the private sector and current government pay scales are not competitive. Yet the Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act of 1990 provides several avenues for increasing employees' monetary compensation.

The ELF must create adequate forums for such ongoing important communication. In particular, the committee recommends that ELA form a Users Advisory Council of NEMS clients.

From page 94... ...
As discussed in Chapter 2, the DOE's Policy Office will often work In a demanding policy analysis mode. Although the ELF will develop, manage, and maintain the NEMS, the fast-turnaround analysis often required by DOE's policy and program offices can be accomplished with the use of reduced-form models (see Chapter 3~.

The development of certain relationships is thus critical if NEMS capability is to be integrated in DOE's policy analysis. The committee recommends that key ELF employees should have direct access to, and involvement with, the decision makers of client organizations, particularly the DOE as needed.

From page 96... ...
O E" should form a Users Advisory Group of likely NEMS users from within the DOE, other government, federal, state' and regional agencies, and private organizations. o DOE should capitalize on opportunities offered by the Federal Employees Pay Comparability Act of 1990 to attract and retain highly skilled staff for the development and operation of the NEMS.
