PUBLIC LAW 94-163—DEC. 22, 1975 energy efficiency improvement target for each type of covered product specified in paragraphs (1) through (10) of section 322(a). (B) The targets prescribed under subparagraph (A) shall be designed so that, if met, the aggregate energy efficiency of covered products of all types specified in paragraphs (1) through (10) of section 322(a) which are manufactured in calendar year 1980 will exceed the aggregate energy efficiency achieved by products of all such types manufactured in calendar year 1972 by a percentage which is the maximum percentage improvement which the Administrator determines is economically and technologically feasible, but which in any case is not less than 20 percent. (2) Not later than one year after the date of enactment of this Act, the Administrator shall, by rule, prescribe an energy efficiency improvement target for each type of covered products specified in paragraphs (11), (12), and (13) of section 322(a). Each such target shall be d e s i r e d to achieve the maximum improvement in energy efficiency which the Administrator determines is economically and technologically feasible to attain for each such type manufactured in calendar year 1980. (3) The Administrator may, from time to time, by rule, modify any energy efficiency improvement target prescribed under paragraph (1) or (2) so long as such target, as modified, meets the applicable requirements of paragraph (1) or (2). (4)(A) The Administrator shall require each manufacturer of covered products of the types specified in paragraphs (1) through (13) of section 332(a) to submit such reports, with respect to improvement of energy efficiency of such products, as the Administrator determines may be necessary to establish targets under this subsection or to ascertain whether covered products of any such type will achieve the percentage improvement prescribed by the energy efficiency improvement target for such type. (B) If, on the basis of the reports received under subparagraph (A) or other information available to the Administrator, he determines that an energy efficiency improvement target applicable to any type of covered product specified in paragraphs (1) through (13) of section 322(a) is not likely to be achieved, the Administrator shall commence a proceeding under subsection (b) to prescribe an energy efficiency standard for such type. (C) If, in a proceeding required to be commenced under subparagraph (B), the Administrator determines with respect to the type of product to which the proceeding relates (or class thereof)— (i) improvement of energy efficiency of covered products of such type (or class thereof) is technologically feasible and economically justified, and (ii) the application of a labeling rule under section 324 applicable to such type (or class thereo.f) is not likely to be sufficient to induce manufacturers to produce, and consumers and other persons to purchase, covered products of such type (or class thereof) which achieve the maximum energy efficiency which it is technologically feasible to attain, and which is economically justified, the Administrator shall prescribe an energy efficiency standard for such type (or, if the determinations are made with respect to one or more classes of such type, for such class or classes). (D) For purposes of subparagraph (B), improvement of energy efficiency is economically justified if it is economically feasible the
