PART 313_IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ENERGY POLICY AND CONSERVATION ACT

--Table of Contents

 

Sec. 313.6  Energy statements.



    (a) Each major regulatory action shall include, to the extent 

practicable, consideration of the probable impact of the action taken or 

to be taken upon energy efficiency and conservation. The administrative 

law judge or the DOT decisionmaker, as the case may be, shall normally 

make findings and conclusions about:

    (1) The net change in energy consumption;

    (2) The net change in energy efficiency; and

    (3) The balance struck between energy factors and other public 

interest and public convenience and necessity factors in the decision.

    (b) Energy findings and conclusions contained in any initial or 

recommended decision are a part of that decision and thus subject to 

discretionary review by DOT.

    (c) In the case of orders to show cause initiated by DOT, energy 

findings and conclusions may be omitted if adequate information is not 

available. In such instances, the energy statement shall be integrated 

into the final decision.
