Following public hearings on December 9, 1976, and review of the written comments submitted to FEA, the final target for ''Stone, Clay, and Glass Products'' (Standard Industrial Classification 32) was developed and is described in this notice. It is intended to provide the basis for conservation activities undertaken in furtherance of the industrial energy-conservation program. The SIC 32 target is expressed as the percentage reduction in energy consumed per unit of output from the base year (1972) to the target year (1980). The reduction in energy was estimated for each of the 27 SIC 32 components. The procedure used in aggregating these component energy-efficiency improvements into an energy-efficiency improvement target for the entire stone, clay, and glass industry comprised in essence weighting the contribution of each component in terms of its relative total energy consumption. The draft target for energy efficiency improvement in SIC 32 which was determined to be technically and economically feasible was 17 percent, the percent reduction in energy consumed per unit of industrial output.
