This section identifies four agencies covered by its energy-conservation policy rule. Those agencies generally must state the likely energy-efficiency and conservation effect of major regulatory actions, except when exercising authority protecting public health or safety.

(a) “Agency” means (1) the Department of Transportation for part A of subtitle VII of title 49; (2) the Interstate Commerce Commission; (3) the Federal Maritime Commission; and (4) the Federal Power Commission. (b) Unless subsection (c) applies, each listed agency must, when practicable and consistent with its other legal authority, include in each major regulatory action—as that agency defines it by rule—a statement of the action's likely effect on energy efficiency and conservation. (c) The statement is not required for authority exercised under a law provision designed to protect public health or safety.
