    (a) Chapter 77 (Energy Conservation) of Title 42 (The Public Health 

and Welfare), authorizes and directs certain actions 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 

consumer products. In furtherance of these purposes, 42 U.S.C. 6362 

requires several transportation regulatory agencies, including DOT, to 

submit a number of reports to the Congress with respect to energy 

conservation and efficiency, and where practicable and consistent with 

the exercise of DOT's authority under other law, to include in any major 

regulatory action a statement of its probable impact on energy 

efficiency and energy conservation. 42 U.S.C. 6362(b) directs DOT to 

define the term ``major regulatory action'' by rule.

    (b) Section 40113 of Subtitle VII of Title 49 of the United States 

Code (Transportation)(``the Statute''), authorizes DOT to establish such 

rules, regulations, and procedures as are necessary 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 

guidelines for the implementation of DOT's responsibility under 42 

U.S.C. 6362 to include in any major regulatory action taken by DOT a 

statement of the probable impact on energy efficiency and energy 

conservation.

    (d) These regulations apply to all proceedings before DOT, as 

provided herein.
