**(a) “Energy action” defined** For purposes of this section, the term “energy action” means any matter required to be transmitted, or submitted to the Congress in accordance with the procedures of this section.
**(b) Transmittal of energy action to Congress** The President shall transmit any energy action (bearing an identification number) to both Houses of Congress on the same day. If both Houses are not in session on the day any energy action is received by the appropriate officers of each House, for purposes of this section such energy action shall be deemed to have been transmitted on the first succeeding day on which both Houses are in session.
**(c) Effective date of energy action**
(1) Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, if energy action is transmitted to the Houses of Congress, such action shall take effect at the end of the first period of 15 calendar days of continuous session of Congress after the date on which such action is transmitted to such Houses, unless between the date of transmittal and the end of such 15-day period, either House passes a resolution stating in substance that such House does not favor such action.
(2) An energy action described in paragraph (1) may take effect prior to the expiration of the 15-calendar-day period after the date on which such action is transmitted, if each House of Congress approves a resolution affirmatively stating in substance that such House does not object to such action.
**(d) Computation of period** For the purpose of subsection (c) of this section—
(1) continuity of session is broken only by an adjournment of Congress sine die; and

**(a)** The Congress finds that—
(1) the fastest, most cost-effective, and most environmentally sound way to prevent future energy shortages in the United States, while reducing the Nation’s dependence on imported energy supplies, is to encourage and facilitate, through major programs, the implementation of energy conservation and renewable-resource energy measures with respect to dwelling units, nonresidential buildings, and industrial plants;
(2) current efforts to encourage and facilitate such measures are inadequate as a consequence of—
(A) a lack of adequate and available financing for such measures, particularly with respect to individual consumers and owners of small businesses;
(B) a shortage of reliable and impartial information and advisory services pertaining to practicable energy conservation measures and renewable-resource energy measures and the cost savings that are likely if they are implemented in such units, buildings, and plants; and
(C) the absence of organized programs which, if they existed, would enable consumers, especially individuals and owners of small businesses, to undertake such measures easily and with confidence in their economic value;
(3) major programs of financial incentives and assistance for energy conservation measures and renewable-resource energy measures in dwelling units, nonresidential buildings, and industrial plants would—
(A) significantly reduce the Nation’s demand for energy and the need for petroleum imports;
(B) cushion the adverse impact of the high price of energy supplies on consumers, particularly elderly and handicapped low-income persons who cannot afford to make the modifications necessary to reduce their residential energy use; and
(C) increase, directly and indirectly, job opportunities and

**(a)** The Congress finds that improvement in electric utility rate design has great potential for reducing the cost of electric utility services to consumers and current and projected shortages of capital, and for encouraging energy conservation and better use of existing electrical generating facilities.
**(b)** It is the purpose of this subchapter to require the Secretary to develop proposals for improvement of electric utility rate design and transmit such proposals to Congress; to fund electric utility rate demonstration projects; to intervene or participate, upon request, in the proceedings of utility regulatory commissions; and to provide financial assistance to State offices of consumer services to facilitate presentation of consumer interests before such commissions.

transformer.
‘‘(c) REQUIREMENTS.—To be eligible to receive a re-
bate under this section, an entity shall submit to the
Secretary an application in such form, at such time,
and containing such information as the Secretary may
require, including demonstrated evidence—
‘‘(1) that the entity purchased a qualified energy ef-
ficient transformer;

ficient transformer;
‘‘(3) of the age of the qualified energy inefficient
transformer being replaced;
‘‘(4) of the core loss value of the qualified energy in-
efficient transformer being replaced—
‘‘(A) as measured by a qualified professional or

ble; or
‘‘(B) for transformers described in subsection
(a)(2)(B)(i), as selected from a table of default val-

PART A—WEATHERIZATION ASSISTANCE FOR
LOW-INCOME PERSONS
§ 6861. Congressional findings and purpose
(a) The Congress finds that—
(1)
a
fast,
cost-effective,
and
environ-
mentally sound way to prevent future energy
shortages in the United States while reducing
the Nation’s dependence on imported energy
supplies,
is
to
encourage
and
facilitate,
through major programs, the implementation
of energy conservation and renewable-resource
energy measures with respect to dwelling
units;
(2) existing efforts to encourage and facili-
tate such measures are inadequate because—
(A) many dwellings owned or occupied by
low-income persons are energy inefficient;
(B) low-income persons can least afford to
make the modifications necessary to provide
for efficient energy equipment in such dwell-
ings and otherwise to improve the energy ef-
ficiency of such dwellings;
(3) weatherization of such dwellings would
lower shelter costs in dwellings owned or occu-
pied by low-income persons as well as save en-
ergy and reduce future energy capacity re-
quirements; and
(4) States, through Community Action Agen-
cies established under the Economic Oppor-
tunity Act of 1964 [42 U.S.C. 2701 et seq.] and
units of general purpose local government,
