SOURCE: Docket No. 82, 50 FR 2425, Jan. 16, 1985, unless otherwise noted. 313.1 Purpose, scope, and authority. (a) Chapter 77 (Energy Conservation) of Title 42
32、 (The Public Health and Wel-fare), authorizes and directs certain ac-tions to conserve energy supplies through energy conservation programs and where necessary, the regulation of certain energy uses, and to provide for improved energy efficiency of motor vehicles, major appliances, and certain other
33、 consumer products. In further-ance of these purposes, 42 U.S.C. 6362 requires several transportation regu-latory agencies, including DOT, to sub-mit a number of reports to the Con-gress with respect to energy conserva-tion and efficiency, and where prac-ticable and consistent with the exer-cise of
34、DOTs authority under other law, to include in any major regulatory action a statement of its probable im-pact on energy efficiency and energy conservation. 42 U.S.C. 6362(b) directs DOT to define the term major regu-latory action by rule. (b) Section 40113 of Subtitle VII of Title 49 of the United S
35、tates Code (Transportation)(the Statute), au-thorizes DOT to establish such rules, regulations, and procedures as are nec-essary to the exercise of its functions and are consistent with the purposes of the Statute. (c) The purpose of these regulations is to establish procedures and guide-lines for t
36、he implementation of DOTs responsibility under 42 U.S.C. 6362 to include in any major regulatory action taken by DOT a statement of the prob-able impact on energy efficiency and energy conservation. (d) These regulations apply to all proceedings before DOT, as provided herein. Docket No. 82, 50 FR 2
37、425, Jan. 16, 1985, as amended at 60 FR 43528, 43529, Aug. 22, 1995 313.2 Policy. (a) General. It is the policy of DOT to view the conservation of energy and the energy efficiency improvement goals of Chapter 77 of Title 42 as part of DOTs overall mandate, to be consid-ered along with the several pu
38、blic in-terest and public convenience and ne-cessity factors enumerated in section 40101 of the Statute. To the extent practicable and consistent with DOTs authority under the Statute and other law, energy conservation and efficiency are to be weighed in the decision-making process just as are DOTs
39、tradi-tional policies and missions. (b) Implementation. Implementation of this policy is through the integration of energy findings and conclusions into decisions, opinions, or orders in pro-ceedings involving a major regulatory action, as defined in this part. (c) Proceedings in progress. The provi
40、-sions of this part are intended pri-marily for prospective application. Proceedings in progress on the effec-tive date of this part, in which an ap-plication has been docketed but no final decision made public, shall adhere to 313.6(a) of this part, provided that the fair, efficient, and timely adm
41、inis-tration of DOTs regulatory activities is not compromised thereby. Nothing herein shall imply a requirement for new or additional hearings, a reopening of the record, or any other procedures which would tend to delay a timely de-cision in proceedings in progress. (d) Hearings. Public hearings wi
42、ll not normally be held for the purpose of im-plementing 42 U.S.C. 6362, particularly in connection with proposed actions VerDate Mar2010 13:23 Feb 23, 2011 Jkt 223046 PO 00000 Frm 00339 Fmt 8010 Sfmt 8010 Y:SGML223046.XXX 223046WReier-Aviles on DSKGBLS3C1PROD with CFRProvided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-
