. The ITP program goals are to contribute to a 25 percent2 decrease in energy intensity3 by the energy-intensive IOFs between 2002 and 2020 and to commercialize more than 10 industrial energy efficiency technologies between 2003 and 2010.4 Restructuring of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy On March 18, 2002, DOE's Assistant Secretary David Garman announced a major reorganization of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy.

COMMITTEE FOR REVIEW OF THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY'S INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGIES PROGRAM In response to the call for strengthened peer review within the EERE, the leadership of the ITP asked the National Research Council's Board on Manufacturing and Engineering Design to assess the overall technical quality and effectiveness of the program. The board was asked to assess the new decision-making process used by the ITP to determine research directions as well as the application of this process to individual subprograms and the program as a whole.

support the selection of focus areas and barriers; whether the focus areas and barriers are the highest priority or most appropriate related to the ITP's mission; how the R&D pathways were determined and whether these pathways are likely to result in achieving program goals; whether the prospective subprogram portfolios are the right ones to achieve the goals of the ITP; whether there are unnecessary research areas or gaps in research; and whether there is a reasonable mix of near-, mid-, and far-term research; and · Determine the prospective value of the MYPP and planning processes, including: the likelihood that the program will achieve its goals; whether there is a good plan to carry out the program; how well the program is connected to the users, including non-ITP researchers; and the capacity to develop lessons learned for future interdisciplinary research activities. The committee was asked to include findings and recommendations related to the quality and appropriateness of all DOE projects and programs in the ITP, including internal work, collaborative activities, and competitively sourced research, development, and analysis.
