Federal officials can update the shared factors and data used for energy conservation standards, as long as they all agree. Every agency must use these agreed-upon numbers, unless one of three exceptions applies: the Secretary approves different numbers as critical to a program's unique needs, using the agreed numbers would break another law, or a legal requirement forces a change.

This section governs how the factors and data agreed to under section 8286 of this title are used. Federal agency heads may revise those factors and data, but only by consensus. All federal agencies must use the agreed factors and data when setting or revising their energy conservation standards. There are three exceptions where an agency may use different factors and data instead: (1) The Secretary of Energy approves the other factors and data, solely because they are critical to meeting the unique needs of that particular program. (2) Using the consented-to factors and data would violate an express provision of law. (3) A statutory requirement or responsibility forces a change to the consented-to factors and data.

Factors and data consented to pursuant to section 8286 of this title may be revised and agreed to by a consensus of the heads of the various Federal agencies involved. Such factors and data shall be used by all Federal agencies in establishing and revising various energy conservation standards used by such agencies, except that other factors and data may be used with respect to the standards applicable to any program if—

(1)

the other factors and data are approved by the Secretary of Energy solely on the basis that such other factors and data are critical to meet the unique needs of the program concerned;

(2)

using the consented to factors and data would cause a violation of an express provision of law; or

(3)

statutory requirements or responsibilities require a modification of the consented to factors and data.
