The U.S. Interagency Geothermal Coordinating Council was a multi-agency group charged with identifying and reducing barriers to geothermal energy development in the U.S. Many of the issues covered related to regulations for and progress in the leasing of Federal lands in the West for power development. The IGCC reports are important sources of historical information. Table 5 here shows competitive leasing of federal lands for geothermal uses, by state, for 1974-1976, and annually for 1977 through 1983. By the end of FY 1983, 972,492 acres were under competitive lease. Bonus bids collected from these sales totaled more than $77 million. (DJE 2005)

It is observed with the ETA electron beam propagating in air that the net current exceeds the beam current for pressures between 20 and 500 Torr. Microwave measurements indicate that this current enhancement is distinctly different than that associated with the two-stream instability at low pressure. Detailed measurements of its dependence on pressure, current, beam size, and propagation distance are given. A theory is proposed that attributes the additional forward current to energetic secondary electrons pushed forward by the beam self-magnetic field. Detailed comparison of measurements with the results of a non-local Boltzmann code are made.

A weekly publication, the Texas Register serves as the journal of state agency rulemaking for Texas. Information published in the Texas Register includes proposed, adopted, withdrawn and emergency rule actions, notices of state agency review of agency rules, governor's appointments, attorney general opinions, and miscellaneous documents such as requests for proposals. After adoption, these rulemaking actions are codified into the Texas Administrative Code.
