OTA Background Papers are documents that contain information believed to be
useful to various parties. The information undergirds formal OTA assessments or is
an outcome of internal exploratory planning and evaluation. The material is usually
not of immediate policy interest such as is contained in an OTA Report or Technical
Memorandum, nor does it present options for Congress to consider.
