                 TITLE 42--THE PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE
 
             CHAPTER 91--NATIONAL ENERGY CONSERVATION POLICY
 
          SUBCHAPTER VII--ENERGY SAVINGS PERFORMANCE CONTRACTS
 
Sec. 8287d. Assistance to Federal agencies in achieving energy 
        efficiency in Federal facilities and operations
        
    The Secretary in fiscal year 1999 and thereafter, shall continue the 
process begun in fiscal year 1998 of accepting funds from other Federal 
agencies in return for assisting agencies in achieving energy efficiency 
in Federal facilities and operations by the use of privately financed, 
energy savings performance contracts and other private financing 
mechanisms. The funds may be provided after agencies begin to realize 
energy cost savings; may be retained by the Secretary until expended; 
and may be used only for the purpose of assisting Federal agencies in 
achieving greater efficiency, water conservation and use of renewable 
energy by means of privately financed mechanisms, including energy 
savings performance contracts and utility incentive programs. These 
recovered funds will continue to be used to administer even greater 
energy efficiency, water conservation and use of renewable energy by 
means of privately financed mechanisms such as utility efficiency 
service contracts and energy savings performance contracts. The 
recoverable funds will be used for all necessary program expenses, 
including contractor support and resources needed, to achieve overall 
Federal energy management program objectives for greater energy savings. 
Any such privately financed contracts shall meet the provisions of the 
Energy Policy Act of 1992, Public Law 102-486 regarding energy savings 
performance contracts and utility incentive programs.
