      By Mr. BINGAMAN (for himself, Ms. Murkowski, and Mr. Menendez):
  S. 3059. A bill to improve energy efficiency of appliances, lighting, 
and buildings, and for other purposes; to the Committee on Energy and 
Natural Resources.
  Mr. BINGAMAN. Mr. President, I am pleased to join with the Ranking 
Member of the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Lisa 
Murkowski, in introducing the National Energy Efficiency Enhancement 
Act of 2010. This legislation would implement several agreements that 
have been negotiated between appliance manufacturers and energy 
efficiency advocates to increase national energy efficiency standards 
for a range of commercial products, strengthen our economy, create 
jobs, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
  The major energy consuming products that would have standards 
established or enhanced by this legislation include furnaces, air 
conditioners, street lights, and external power supplies. The bill 
would also modify the Secretary of Energy's authority regarding 
administration of the program. For example, there would be changes to 
the criteria used by the Secretary when determining where to set a 
standard, so as to include consideration of the impact of a proposed 
standard on average energy prices and the impacts of smart grid 
technology. A more detailed description section-by-section summary of 
the bill is included at the end of these remarks.
  Representatives from the energy efficiency community, such as the 
American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy, ACEEE, the Alliance 
to Save Energy, and the National Resources Defense Council, along with 
industry representatives from the National Electric Manufacturers 
Association, the Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute, 
and the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers and others, have 
done a commendable job in working through very difficult and technical 
issues to develop this remarkable consensus legislation. Their 
successes were set forth in several agreements that have been included 
in this bill. It is a testament to what can be achieved for the nation 
when interests groups work together with a commitment to the common 
good.
  The savings from these new standards, if enacted, are estimated at 
258 trillion Btu in 2020, and 677 trillion Btu in 2030. In addition, 
greenhouse gas emissions are estimated to be reduced by 14.6 million 
metric tons of CO<inf>2</inf> in 2020, and 39 million metric tons in 
2030. Other benefits of increased efficiency include consumer savings 
due to lower energy costs and new jobs created by the use of consumer 
savings for other purchases and investments.
  This legislation demonstrates the continuing commitment of the Energy

[[Page S947]]

Committee to build on the bipartisan bill it reported last June--the 
American Clean Energy Leadership Act of 2009, or ACELA. Title II of 
ACELA directs the Energy Department to establish new energy efficiency 
standards for portable lamps and commercial furnaces and would yield 
estimated energy savings in 2030 of 551 trillion Btu, and carbon 
dioxide emission reductions of 31.3 million metric tons. Combined, the 
savings from these two bills would be 1228 trillion Btu and 70 million 
metric tons in 2030. Note: all estimates by the American Council for an 
Energy Efficient Economy.
  The energy efficiency provisions of ACELA when combined with this new 
legislation would substantially enhance one of the most powerful and 
cost-effective tools the Federal Government has to strengthen our 
economic and energy security.
  The appliance standards program has been saving energy and money for 
families, businesses, and government consumers for more than 20 years. 
DOE currently administers standards for 35 products, and the American 
Council for an Energy Efficient Economy estimates cumulative program 
savings of 5.1 Quadrillion Btu through 2010. The ACEEE projects another 
3 Quadrillion Btu of savings from current standards by 2020.
  This program's savings in electricity are the most significant, with 
an estimated reduction of nearly 16 percent in national electricity use 
by 2020 below what would have been used without the program.
  Greater energy efficiency strengthens our economy, enhances our 
security, saves consumers money, creates jobs, and reduces greenhouse 
gas pollution. No single program or policy is going to completely end 
our nation's waste of energy or its carbon emissions, but increased 
energy efficiency through cost-effective energy standards for 
appliances and consumer products remains the single most-powerful tools 
for meeting these goals.
  I look forward to working with my colleagues in the Energy Committee, 
in the Congress, and in the Administration to enact the National Energy 
Efficiency Enhancement Act of 2010. It would be a major enhancement to 
the energy savings anticipated from ACELA--more than doubling the 
savings--and both bills should be a part of any comprehensive national 
energy legislation.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the text of the bill and 
a bill summary be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:

                                S. 3059

     EER and HSPF.
       (c) Amends section 325(d) to establish regional and 
     increased energy efficiency standards for central air 
     conditioners and heat pumps, and related equipment, to be 
     effective on or after Jan 1, 2015, and sets forth dates for 
     the consideration of future standards.
       (d) Amends section 325(d) to establish definitions for 
     Through-the-Wall air conditioning and heat pump systems, and

     30, 2016.
       (e) Amends section 325(f) to establish definitions and 
     regional standards for non-weatherized gas and oil furnaces 
     to be effective on or after May, 2013; and for weatherized

       (f) Amends section 327(f) to provide that State building 
     codes may provide for products that have efficiencies that 
     exceed applicable Federal standards, within certain limits 
     and if such State code provides for combinations of energy 
     items to meet the code objectives that includes at least one 
     combination that does not exceed Federal products standards.
       Sec. 3. Energy Conservation Standards for Heat Pump Pool 
     Heaters.
       Amends sections 321 and 325 to provide definitions and 
     establish efficiency standards for heat pump pool heaters.

     Supplies.
       Amends section 325(u) to provide a definition for 
     ``security or life safety alarm or surveillance system'' and 
     provides an exemption for certain such products from the ``no 
     load'' portion of the Federal efficiency standards until July 
     1, 2017.
       Sec. 5. Prohibited Acts.
       Amends section 332 to clarify that representatives of

     effective dates, test methods, labeling and preemption 
     treatment for pole-mounted outdoor lighting products (e.g. 
     street and parking lot light fixtures, bulbs and controls). 
     Also sets standards for double-ended halogen lamps (high 
     wattage incandescent lamps generally used outdoors) and ends 
     the production of standard mercury vapor lamps, effective 
     2016, completing the transition to higher efficiency lighting 
     sources begun when inefficient mercury vapor fixtures and

     prices'' and ``impacts due to smart grid'' as new criteria 
     for setting efficiency standards, (B) establishes a 
     rebuttable presumption for what DOE determines to be a 
     minimum ``technically feasible and economically justified'' 
     efficiency standard, and (C) authorizes DOE to include smart 
     grid technologies into product standards, listing credits and 
     other options for including these technologies.
       (c) Obtainment of Appliance Information from Manufacturers. 
     Amends section 326 to direct DOE to require manufacturers to 
     submit specific product information to DOE such as

       (d) Waiver of Federal Preemption. Amends section 327(d) to 
     clarify that DOE may not reject a State waiver petition for 
     failure of the State to produce information that is

     information.
       (e) Permitting States to Seek Injunctive Enforcement.
