SEC. 404. STUDY. Within six months after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Environmental Protection Agency, in consultation with the Secretary of Energy and the Secretary of Transportation and after an opportunity for public comment, shall submit to the Congress a detailed report on the degree to which fuel economy estimates required to be used in new car fuel economy labeling and in the annual fuel economy mileage guide required under section 506 of the Motor Vehicle Information and Cost Savings Act (15 U.S.C. 2006) provide a realistic estimate of average fuel economy likely to be achieved by the driving public. Such report shall include such recommendations as the Environmental Protection Agency deems appropriate based on report and written findings or conclusions stated therein, other than recommendations concerning changes or alterations in the testing and calculation procedures and methods measuring fuel economy under such Act as utilized by the Environmental Protection Agency for model year 1975 passenger automobiles. Nothing in this section shall authorize such agency to make any changes or alterations in such procedures and methods in effect for such model year for measuring automobile fuel economy.

(a) FINDINGS.-The Congress finds that (1) significant amounts of industrial energy and other scarce natural resources are conserved in certain majority energy-consuming industries where recovered materials are utilized in their manufacturing operations; (2) substantial additional volumes of industrial energy and other scarce natural resources will be conserved in future years if such major energy-consuming industries increase to the maximum feasible extent utilization of recovered materials in their manufacturing operations; (3) millions of tons of recoverable materials which could be used by such industries are needlessly wasted and buried each year at great cost to State and local governments, while technology and methods exist whereby those materials could readily be made available for utilization; and (4) the recovery and utilization of such recovered materials can substantially reduce the dependence of the United States on foreign natural resources and reduce the growing deficit in its balance of payments. (b) PURPOSES.-The purposes of this subtitle are to conserve valuable energy and scarce natural resources, promote the national security, and protect the environment by (1) directing that targets for increased industrial utilization of recovered materials be established for certain major energyconsuming industries; (2) creating procedures whereby such industries may cooperate with the Federal Government in the establishment and achievement of such targets; and (3) providing incentives for increased industrial utilization of energy-saving recovered materials in such major energy-consuming industries.

As used in the part (1) The term "Federal agency" means (A) an Executive agency as defined in section 105 of title 5, United States Code; and (B) each entity specified in paragraphs (B) through (H) of subsection (1) of section 5721 of title 5, United States Code. (2) The term "Federal building" means any building or other structure owned in whole or part by the United States or any Federal agency, including any such structure occupied by a Federal agency under a lease-acquisition agreement under which the United States or a Federal agency will receive fee simple title under the terms of such agreement without further negotiation. (3) The term "solar heating” means, with respect to any Federal building, the use of solar energy to meet all or part of the heating needs of such building (including hot water), or all or part of the needs of such building for hot water. (4) The term "solar heating and cooling" means the use of solar energy to provide all or part of the heating needs of a Federal building (including hot water) and all or part of the cooling needs of such building, or all or part of the needs of such building for hot water.

[42 U.S.C. 8244] PART 3-ENERGY CONSERVATION AND SOLAR ENERGY IN FEDERAL BUILDINGS SEC. 541. FINDINGS. The Congress finds that (1) there is an urgent need to promote the design, construction, and operation of buildings to conserve and make more efficient use of fuels and energy; (2) a shift from dependence on nonrenewable to renewable energy sources would have a beneficial effect on the Nation's overall energy supply; (3) programs for energy conservation in buildings, along with the use of renewable energy sources, would stimulate industries and create new job opportunities for supply and servicing new or improved energy-conserving and energy-supplying systems and equipment; |
