42 U.S.C. § 8262c — Federal agency energy management training

(a) Energy management training — (1) Each executive department, plus the EPA, NASA, GSA, and the Postal Service, must run a program making sure their facility energy managers are trained energy managers. This program is run by the department or agency's Task Force representative, or, if there isn't one, by someone the agency^* head picks. (2) These departments and agencies must encourage employees to take energy manager training — courses in the areas listed in section 8262(3) — offered by private or public schools, federal agencies, or professional groups.

(b) Report to Task Force — (1) Within 60 days of October 24, 1992, each department and agency listed in (a)(1) had to report to the Task Force (A) which of its employees, as of October 24, 1992, already qualify as trained energy managers; (B) each such employee's General Schedule or grade level; and (C) which facility or facilities they're responsible for. (2) The Secretary^* had to summarize these reports for Congress as part of the first section 8258 report made after October 24, 1992.

(c) Requirements at Federal facilities — (1) Within one year of October 24, 1992, these departments and agencies had to improve their energy management by (A) naming facility energy supervisors, (B) encouraging those supervisors to become trained energy managers, and (C) increasing their total number of trained energy managers enough to carry out this Act well. (2) They may hire trained energy managers as facility energy supervisors. Trained energy managers should focus on (A) facilities identified as most costly or least efficient to run, or (B) other facilities the agency head identifies as having big energy-saving potential.

(d) Annual report to Secretary and Congress — Each department and agency listed in (a)(1) must report to the Secretary on how it's meeting this section's requirements. The Secretary must summarize these reports in the annual report to Congress required under section 8258(b).
