2: Repeal of revised Federal building energy efficiency performance standards
This section would remove subparagraph (D) from section 305(a)(3) of the Energy Conservation and Production Act (42 U.S.C. 6834(a)(3)). That subparagraph had required the revised Federal building energy efficiency performance standards. Once removed, any revised Federal building energy efficiency performance standard already established under that subparagraph would have no legal effect, and section 305(a)(3) would from then on be applied as if those standards had never taken effect. This section would also make several conforming changes to the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 to remove other references to the repealed standard. In section 433 of that Act (Public Law 110-140), it would remove subsection (a) entirely; this bill's text does not state what that subsection required. In section 436 of that Act (42 U.S.C. 17092), on high-performance green Federal buildings, it would remove paragraph (1) of subsection (c) entirely, though this bill's text does not state what that paragraph required; remove the reference to section 305(a)(3)(D) of the Energy Conservation and Production Act from the list in paragraph (6) of subsection (c); remove the requirement in subsection (e) that had called for certain action to be taken in accordance with section 305(a)(3)(D); remove the reference to section 305(a)(3)(D) from the introductory text of paragraph (1) of subsection (f) and from subparagraph (A) of that same paragraph; remove paragraph (2) of subsection (f) entirely, though this bill's text does not state what that paragraph required; and remove subsection (h) entirely, though this bill's text does not state what that subsection required. In section 437(a)(1) of that Act (42 U.S.C. 17093(a)(1)), on Federal green building performance, it would remove the reference to section 305(a)(3)(D) of the Energy Conservation and Production Act from the list of requirements in that paragraph.
