(a) The Secretary in cooperation with the secretaries of
[Health and Mental Hygiene] THE ENVIRONMENT, Agriculture, State
Planning, and Economic and Community Development and electric
company representatives shall implement a continuing research
program for electric power plant site evaluation and related
environmental and land use considerations. The Secretary shall
seek from additional sources recommendations for related research
to be included in the program. The additional sources shall
include appropriate federal and State agencies, electric
companies and technical, scientific, or educational institutions
or organizations. An initial program shall be documented on or
about January 1, 1972. The Secretary shall institute effective
procedures for coordinating environmental research assignments to
prevent dissipation of money, time, and effort. To this end, the
State's electric companies shall be reimbursed from the Fund for
environmental research specifically required to satisfy
application and permit requirements for any federal, State, or
local regulatory agencies, if the electric company has requested
reimbursement in advance and furnishes an outline of the program
and its estimated cost so that the Secretary can budget it in
advance.
