**(a) In general** On the request of a State, regional organization, or electric utility, the Secretary of Energy shall provide assistance to States, regional organizations, and electric utilities to facilitate the development of State, regional, and local electricity distribution plans by—
(1) conducting a resource assessment and analysis of future demand and distribution requirements; and
(2) developing open source tools for State, regional, and local planning and operations.
**(b) Risk and security analysis** The assessment under subsection (a)(1) shall include—
(1) the evaluation of the physical security, cybersecurity, and associated communications needs of an advanced distribution management system and the integration of distributed energy resources; and
(2) advanced use of grid architecture to analyze risks in an all-hazards approach that includes communications infrastructure, control systems architecture, and power systems architecture.
**(c) Designation** The information collected for the assessment and analysis under subsection (a)(1)—
(1) shall be considered to be critical electric infrastructure information under section 824o–1 of title 16; and
(2) shall only be released in compliance with regulations implementing that section.
**(d) Technical assistance** For the purpose of assisting in the development of State and regional electricity distribution plans, the Secretary shall provide technical assistance to—
(1) States;
(2) regional reliability entities; and
(3) other distribution asset owners and operators.
**(e) Withdrawal** A State or any entity that has requested technical assistance under this section may withdraw the request for technical assistance at any time, and on such withdrawal, the Secretary shall terminate all assistance efforts.

TITLE 42—THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
§ 17191
§ 17173. Daylighting systems and direct solar
light pipe technology
(a) Establishment
The Secretary shall establish a program of re-
search and development to provide assistance in
the demonstration and commercial application
of direct solar renewable energy sources to pro-
vide alternatives to traditional power genera-
tion for lighting and illumination, including
light pipe technology, and to promote greater
energy conservation and improved efficiency.
All direct solar renewable energy devices sup-
ported under this program shall have the capa-
bility to provide measurable data on the amount
of kilowatt-hours saved over the traditionally
powered light sources they have replaced.
(b) Reporting
The Secretary shall transmit to Congress an
annual report assessing the measurable data de-
rived from each project in the direct solar re-
newable energy sources program and the energy
savings resulting from its use.
(c) Definitions
For purposes of this section—
(1) the term ‘‘direct solar renewable energy’’
means energy from a device that converts sun-
light into useable light within a building, tun-
nel, or other enclosed structure, replacing ar-
tificial light generated by a light fixture and
doing so without the conversion of the sun-
light into another form of energy; and
(2) the term ‘‘light pipe’’ means a device de-
signed to transport visible solar radiation
from its collection point to the interior of a
building while excluding interior heat gain in
the nonheating season.
(d) Authorization of appropriations
There are authorized to be appropriated to the
Secretary for carrying out this section $3,500,000
for each of the fiscal years 2008 through 2012.
