In accordance with section 374 of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), Pub. L. 94-163, the Federal Energy Administration (FEA) proposed industrial energy-efficiency-improvement targets for the ten most energy-consumptive manufacturing industries in the United States. This proposed target is based on the best available information and is established at the level which represents the maximum feasible improvement in energy efficiency that the Transportation Equipment Industry (Standard Industrial Classification 37) can achieve by January 1, 1980, taking into account considerations of the technological feasibility and economic practicability of utilizing alternative operating procedures and more energy-efficient technologies. The draft target represents the percentage reduction in energy consumed per unit of output or activity that can be achieved between calendar year 1972 and January 1, 1980. The draft target was subject to oral and written presentation of views. A final energy-efficiency-improvement target is also published. The net energy-consumption target, taking environmental requirements into account, is estimated to be 580 trillion Btu, a reduction of 16.1 percent. These projections are given for the 7 industry components: motor vehicles, aircraft equipment, ship and boot building, railroad equipment, motorcycles and bicycles, aerospace equipment, and miscellaneous transportation equipment.
