**(a)** The Congress finds that—
(1) large amounts of fuel and energy are consumed unnecessarily each year in heating, cooling, ventilating, and providing domestic hot water for newly constructed residential and commercial buildings because such buildings lack adequate energy conservation features;
(2) Federal voluntary performance standards for newly constructed buildings can prevent such waste of energy, which the Nation can no longer afford in view of its current and anticipated energy shortage;
(3) the failure to provide adequate energy conservation measures in newly constructed buildings increases long-term operating costs that may affect adversely the repayment of, and security for, loans made, insured, or guaranteed by Federal agencies or made by federally insured or regulated instrumentalities; and
(4) State and local building codes or similar controls can provide an existing means by which to assure, in coordination with other building requirements and with a minimum of Federal interference in State and local transactions, that newly constructed buildings contain adequate energy conservation features.
**(b)** The purposes of this subchapter, therefore, are to—
(1) redirect Federal policies and practices to assure that reasonable energy conservation features will be incorporated into new commercial and residential buildings receiving Federal financial assistance;
(2) provide for the development and implementation, as soon as practicable, of voluntary performance standards for new residential and commercial buildings which are designed to achieve the maximum practicable improvements in energy efficiency and increases in the use of nondepletable sources of energy; and
(3) encourage States and local governments to adopt and enforce such standards through th

grants to State regulatory authorities in an
amount not to exceed $250,000 per authority, for
purposes of encouraging demand-side manage-
ment including energy conservation, energy effi-
ciency and load management techniques and for
meeting the requirements of paragraphs (7), (8),
and (9) of section 2621(d) of title 16 and as a
means of meeting gas supply needs and to meet
the requirements of paragraphs (3) and (4) of sec-
tion 3203(b) of title 15. Such grants may be uti-
lized by a State regulatory authority to provide
financial assistance to nonprofit subgrantees of
the Department of Energy’s Weatherization As-
sistance Program in order to facilitate partici-
pation by such subgrantees in proceedings of
such regulatory authority to examine energy
conservation, energy efficiency, or other de-
mand-side management programs.
(b) Plan
A State regulatory authority wishing to re-
ceive a grant under this section shall submit a
plan to the Secretary that specifies the actions
such authority proposes to take that would
achieve the purposes of this section.
(c) Secretarial action
(1) In determining whether, and in what
amount, to provide a grant to a State regulatory
authority under this section the Secretary shall
consider, in addition to other appropriate fac-
tors, the actions proposed by the State regu-
latory authority to achieve the purposes of this
section and to consider implementation of the
ratemaking standards established in—
(A) paragraphs (7), (8) and (9) of section
2621(d) of title 16; or
(B) paragraphs (3) and (4) of section 3203(b) of

(1) Not later than 2 years after October 24, 1992, each State shall certify to the Secretary that it has reviewed the provisions of its residential building code regarding energy efficiency and made a determination as to whether it is appropriate for such State to revise such residential building code provisions to meet or exceed CABO Model Energy Code, 1992.
(2) The determination referred to in paragraph (1) shall be—
(A) made after public notice and hearing;
(B) in writing;
(C) based upon findings included in such determination and upon the evidence presented at the hearing; and
(D) available to the public.
(3) Each State may, to the extent consistent with otherwise applicable State law, revise the provisions of its residential building code regarding energy efficiency to meet or exceed CABO Model Energy Code, 1992, or may decline to make such revisions.
(4) If a State makes a determination under paragraph (1) that it is not appropriate for such State to revise its residential building code, such State shall submit to the Secretary, in writing, the reasons for such determination, and such statement shall be available to the public.
