SUMMARY:
VerDate Mar<15>2010
19:10 Dec 14, 2010
Jkt 223001
Security Act of 2007 (EISA) amends
section 543 of the National Energy
Conservation Policy Act, by adding a
new subsection that describes Federal
agency facility energy and water project
management and benchmarking
requirements, including:
• Designate covered facilities and
assign facility energy managers for
ensuring compliance of covered
facilities subject to the requirements;
• Conduct comprehensive energy and
water evaluations;
• Implement identified efficiency
measures;
• Follow-up on implemented
efficiency measures;
• Deploy and use web-based tracking
system for covered facilities’ energy use,
evaluations, projects, follow-up and
analysis;
• Benchmark metered buildings that
are, or part of, covered facilities; and
• Disclose Federal agency progress in
evaluating covered facilities, project
implementation, follow-up status, and
benchmarked building performance
implementation status. (42 U.S.C.
8253(f)(4))
The draft Guidance for the
Implementation and Follow-up of
Identified Energy and Water Efficiency
Measures in Covered Facilities (per 42
U.S.C. 8253 Subsection (f), Use of
Energy and Water Efficiency Measures
in Federal Buildings) provides guidance
to Federal agencies pertaining to the
implementation of energy and water
efficiency measures identified and
undertaken per Section 432 of EISA (42
U.S.C. 8253(f)(4) and (5)) and details
how these activities fit into the
comprehensive approach to Federal
agency facility energy and water
management.
This draft guidance is available at:
https://www1.eere.energy.gov/femp/pdfs/
draft_EISA_project_guidance.pdf. DOE
will accept comments, data, and
information regarding the draft guidance
no later than the date specified in the
DATES section.

filed applications, and on May 19, 2010,
Montgomery Hydro, LLC, filed an
application, pursuant to section 4(f) of
the Federal Power Act, proposing to
study the feasibility of hydropower at
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
Montgomery Locks and Dam on the
Ohio River near the town of Industry, in
Beaver County, Pennsylvania. The sole
purpose of a preliminary permit, if
issued, is to grant the permit holder
priority to file a license application
during the permit term. A preliminary
permit does not authorize the permit
holder to perform any land-disturbing
activities or otherwise enter upon lands
or waters owned by others without the
owners’ express permission.

attached to pilings in the river to
support each lock frame module; (3) a
25-foot-long, 50-foot-wide switchyard
containing a transformer; and (4) a
2,000-foot-long, 69-kilovolt (kV)
