             CHAPTER 91--NATIONAL ENERGY CONSERVATION POLICY
 
 SUBCHAPTER VI--COORDINATION OF FEDERAL ENERGY CONSERVATION FACTORS AND 
                                  DATA
 
Sec. 8286a. Use of 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.
