In accordance with Section 374 of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), the Federal Energy Administration (FEA) proposed industrial energy efficiency improvement targets for the ten most energy-consumptive manufacturing industries in the U.S. Following public hearings and review of the written comments which were submitted to FEA, the final target for Stone, Clay, and Glass Products (Standard Industrial Classification 32) has been developed and is described. The draft target for energy efficiency improvement in SIC 32 which was determined to be technically and economically feasible was 17% for 1980 energy consumption as compared with 1972 energy consumption. The target resulted from a weighted aggregation of the energy reductions expected to be achieved by the individual components which make up SIC 32. The values for the individual components ranged from a low of 0.46 x 10/sup 12/ Btu to a high of 108.24 x 10/sup 12/ Btu. The total for SIC 32 was 290.14 x 10/sup 12/ Btu. The SIC 32 target was calculated by dividing 290.14 x 10/sup 12/ Btu by the 1980 energy consumption at 1972 efficiencies (1752.60 x 10/sup 12/ Btu) and rounding off to the nearest integer.
