private sector or other Federal agencies in those focus areas, and 
making recommendations on how to address those gaps; surveying and 
analyzing factors that prevent the adoption of emissions reduction 
technologies by the private sector; and recommending technology 
screening criteria for technology developed under the program to 
encourage adoption of the technology by the private sector.
