REPORT
[To accompany S. 190]
[Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was
referred the bill (S. 190) to provide for consideration of the exten-
sion under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of nonapplica-
tion of No-Load Mode energy efficiency standards to certain secu-
rity or life safety alarms or surveillance systems, and for other pur-
poses, having considered the same, reports favorably thereon with-
out amendment and recommends that the bill do pass.
PURPOSE
The purpose of S. 190 is to provide for consideration of the exten-
sion under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) of non-
application of No-Load Mode energy efficiency standards to certain
security or life safety alarms or surveillance systems.
BACKGROUND AND NEED
Since the 1973 oil embargo and every subsequent energy crisis,
studies have shown that the United States could save energy and
money by investing in energy efficiency measures. Today, efficient
energy use and the deployment of more efficient technologies are
critical to the nation's economic competitiveness and job creation.
In addition, efficient energy use reduces pollution that would be as-
sociated with energy production. Nevertheless, many existing en-
ergy efficiency technologies and programs have yet to be installed
or implemented.
