Zach Graves at LegBranch.org writes on a new CRS report about the Office of Technology Assessment:
The report looks at the pros and cons of five different approaches Congress could take:
- Reestablish OTA Without Changes to Its Statute
- Reestablish OTA with Changes to Its Statute
- Charge an Existing Agency or Agencies with New or Expanded Technology Assessment Authorities and Duties
- Use the National Academies for Technology Assessment
- Rely on a Broad Range of Existing Organizations for Scientific and Technical Analysis and Technology Assessment
At Claremont McKenna College, Bruno Youn wrote his 2019 senior thesis on the topic.
