42 U.S.C. § 8324 — Terms and conditions; compliance plans

(a) Terms and conditions generally: Any exemption from a Part A ban comes with whatever terms and conditions the Secretary decides are appropriate, including terms requiring the use of practical, effective fuel-conservation measures consistent with this chapter's purposes. For a temporary exemption, the terms and conditions — which may include a compliance plan meeting subsection (b)'s requirements — must be designed to make sure that, once the exemption expires, the people and powerplant it covered will comply with the applicable bans. (b) Compliance plans: A compliance plan meets this subsection's requirements if the Secretary approves it, and it (1) contains (A) a schedule showing how the plant will come into compliance with this chapter's applicable rules, and (B) evidence of binding contracts for fuel, or for facilities to produce fuel, that would allow that compliance; and (2) is revised whenever, and to whatever extent, the Secretary requires, to reflect changed circumstances.
