Page 6797 TITLE 42—THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE § 6361 § 6350. Industrial insulation and audit guidelines (a) Voluntary guidelines for energy efficiency au- diting and insulating Not later than 18 months after October 24, 1992, the Secretary, after consultation with util- ities, major industrial energy consumers, and representatives of the insulation industry, shall establish voluntary guidelines for— (1) the conduct of energy efficiency audits of industrial facilities to identify cost-effective opportunities to increase energy efficiency; and (2) the installation of insulation to achieve cost-effective increases in energy efficiency in industrial facilities. (b) Educational and technical assistance The Secretary shall conduct a program of edu- cational and technical assistance to promote the use of the voluntary guidelines established under subsection (a).

(c). Pub. L. 104–66 in introductory provi- sions substituted ‘‘1995’’ for ‘‘1992’’, and inserted ‘‘as part of the report required under section 6349(d) of this title,’’ after ‘‘and biennially thereafter,’’. § 6351. Coordination of research and develop- ment of energy efficient technologies for in- dustry (a) In general As part of the research and development ac- tivities of the Advanced Manufacturing Office of the Department of Energy, the Secretary of En- ergy (referred to in this section as the ‘‘Sec- retary’’) shall establish, as appropriate, collabo- rative research and development partnerships with other programs within the Department of Energy that— (1) leverage the research and development expertise of those programs to promote early stage energy efficiency technology develop- ment; (2) support the use of innovative manufac- turing processes and applied research for de- velopment, demonstration, and commer- cialization of new technologies and processes to improve efficiency (including improvements in efficient use of water), reduce emissions, re- duce industrial waste, and improve industrial cost-competitiveness; and (3) apply the knowledge and expertise of the Advanced Manufacturing Office to help achieve the program goals of the other pro- grams. (b) Reports Not later than 2 years after December 18, 2012, and biennially thereafter, the Secretary shall submit to Congress a report that describes ac- tions taken to carry out subsection (a) and the results of those actions.

AMENDMENTS 2020—Subsec. (a). Pub. L. 116–260, in introductory pro- visions, substituted ‘‘Advanced Manufacturing Office’’ for ‘‘Industrial Technologies Program’’ and ‘‘Depart- ment of Energy’’ for ‘‘Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (including the Building Tech- nologies Program), the Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability, and the Office of Science’’. Subsec. (a)(3). Pub. L. 116–260, § 6002(1), substituted ‘‘Advanced Manufacturing Office’’ for ‘‘Industrial Tech- nologies Program’’. PART D—OTHER FEDERAL ENERGY CONSERVATION MEASURES Editorial Notes CODIFICATION This part, originally designated part E and subse- quently redesignated part F by Pub. L. 95–619, title IV, § 441(a), Nov. 9, 1978, 92 Stat. 3267, was changed to part D for purposes of codification. § 6361. Federal energy conservation programs (a) Establishment and coordination of Federal agency actions (1) The President shall, to the extent of his au- thority under other law, establish or coordinate Federal agency actions to develop mandatory standards with respect to energy conservation and energy efficiency to govern the procurement policies and decisions of the Federal Govern- ment and all Federal agencies, and shall take such steps as are necessary to cause such stand- ards to be implemented. (2) The President shall develop and, to the ex- tent of his authority under other law, imple- ment a 10-year plan for energy conservation with respect to buildings owned or leased by an agency of the United States. Such plan shall in- clude mandatory lighting efficiency standards, mandatory thermal efficiency standards and in- sulation requirements, restrictions on hours of operation, thermostat controls, and other condi- tions of operation, and plans for replacing or retrofitting to meet such standards.
