42 U.S.C. § 8354 — Terms and conditions; compliance plans

(a) Terms and conditions generally. Any exemption from a ban under this part comes with whatever terms and conditions the Secretary decides are appropriate, including terms requiring the use of effective fuel conservation measures that are practical and consistent with this chapter's purposes. For a temporary exemption, those terms and conditions — which may include a compliance plan meeting the requirements of subsection (b) — must be designed to make sure that, once the exemption ends, the people and the powerplant it covered will follow 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 the applicable ban under this chapter, and (B) proof of binding fuel contracts, or of facilities to produce fuel, that would allow that compliance to happen; and (2) gets revised whenever, and to whatever extent, the Secretary requires, to reflect changes in circumstances.
