(2) The Postmaster General may exclude from the requirements of such section any facility or collection of facilities, and the associated energy consumption and gross square footage if the Postmaster General finds that compliance with the requirements of such section would be impracticable. A finding of impracticability shall be based on the energy intensiveness of activities carried out in such facility or collection of facilities, the type and amount of energy consumed, or the technical feasibility of making the desired changes. The Postmaster General shall identify and list in the report required under [section 8262i of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title42-section8262i&num=0&edition=prelim) the facilities designated by it for such exclusion. **(b) Implementation steps** In carrying 11 So in original.
