Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5957189

Title III, Part D of the Environmental Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) addresses industrial energy conservation. This part of the Act requires DOE to establish a program to promote increased energy efficiency by American industry. With respect to the various sections of Part D of the EPCA, Section 371 contains definitions, including those of energy efficiency and major energy-consuming industry, both of which are basic to the industrial energy-conservation program as described in this report. Section 372 requires the establishment of the program. The specific requirements of the program established under the authority of the EPCA are defined in Sections 373 through 376. One of the provisions of Section 375 is that there shall be prepared, for submission to the Congress and to the President, an annual report on the industrial energy efficiency program established under Section 372 summarizing progress made toward the achievement of the energy efficiency improvement through the first half of 1977, using 1972 as the base year, as well as the establishment of the various elements of the program.
