                 Part B--State Energy Conservation Plans
 
Sec. 6324. State energy efficiency goals

    Each State energy conservation plan with respect to which assistance 
is made available under this part on or after October 1, 1991, shall 
contain a goal, consisting of an improvement of 10 percent or more in 
the efficiency of use of energy in the State concerned in the calendar 
year 2000 as compared to the calendar year 1990, and may contain interim 
goals.

(Pub. L. 94-163, title III, Sec. 364, Dec. 22, 1975, 89 Stat. 935; Pub.

                               Amendments

    1990--Pub. L. 101-440 amended section generally. Prior to amendment, 
section read as follows: ``Upon the basis of the reports submitted 
pursuant to this part and such other information as is available, the 
Secretary shall, at the earliest practicable date, set an energy 
conservation goal for each State for 1980 and may set interim goals. 
Such goal or goals shall consist of the maximum reduction in the 
consumption of energy during any year as a result of the implementation 
of the State energy conservation plan described in section 6322(b) of 
this title which is consistent with technological feasibility, financial 
resources, and economic objectives, by comparison with the projected 
energy consumption for such State in such year. The Secretary shall 
specify the assumptions used in the determination of the projected 
energy consumption in each State, taking into account population trends, 
economic growth, and the effects of national energy conservation 
programs.''
    1978--Pub. L. 95-619 substituted ``Secretary'' for 
``Administrator'', meaning Administrator of the Federal Energy 
Administration, wherever appearing.
