ties shall use sound and objective scientific
practices in assessing such risks, shall consider
the best available science (including peer re-
viewed studies), and shall include a description
of the weight of the scientific evidence con-
cerning such risks.

PROGRAM
§ 13571. Purposes

(1) promote national energy policy and en-
ergy security, diversity, and economic com-
petitiveness benefits that result from the in-
creased use of coal;
(2) mitigate financial risks, reduce the cost

esses; and

(a) In general
The Secretary shall carry out a program of fi-

processes that are in operation on a full
scale—
(A) improve—
(i) energy efficiency; or
(ii)
environmental
performance
con-
sistent with relevant Federal and State
clean air requirements, including those

(2) facilitate the utilization of existing coal-
based electricity generation plants through

**(a) Findings** The Congress finds—
(1) that the predominant part of the Nation’s population is located in its rapidly expanding metropolitan and other urban areas, which generally cross the boundary lines of local jurisdictions and often extend into two or more States;
(2) that the growth in the amount and complexity of air pollution brought about by urbanization, industrial development, and the increasing use of motor vehicles, has resulted in mounting dangers to the public health and welfare, including injury to agricultural crops and livestock, damage to and the deterioration of property, and hazards to air and ground transportation;
(3) that air pollution prevention (that is, the reduction or elimination, through any measures, of the amount of pollutants produced or created at the source) and air pollution control at its source is the primary responsibility of States and local governments; and
(4) that Federal financial assistance and leadership is essential for the development of cooperative Federal, State, regional, and local programs to prevent and control air pollution.
**(b) Declaration** The purposes of this subchapter are—
(1) to protect and enhance the quality of the Nation’s air resources so as to promote the public health and welfare and the productive capacity of its population;
(2) to initiate and accelerate a national research and development program to achieve the prevention and control of air pollution;
(3) to provide technical and financial assistance to State and local governments in connection with the development and execution of their air pollution prevention and control programs; and
(4) to encourage and assist the development and operation of regional air pollution prevention and control programs.
