                     Ms. MURKOWSKI, from the Committee on Energy and Natural
                                 Resources, submitted the following

                                        REPORT

                                        [To accompany H.R. 1420]
                           [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]
                    The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was
                  referred the bill H.R. 1420, to amend the Energy Independence and
                  Security Act of 2007 to promote energy efficiency via information
                  and computing technologies, and for other purposes, having consid-
                  ered the same, reports favorably thereon without amendment, and
                  recommends that the bill do pass.
                                            PURPOSE
                    The purpose of H.R. 1420 is to amend the Energy Independence
                  and Security Act of 2007 (EISA, Public Law 110-140) to promote
                  energy efficiency through information and computing technologies.
                                     BACKGROUND AND NEED
                    According to the Department of Energy (DOE), with more than
                  350,000 buildings and 600,000 fleet vehicles, the Federal Govern-
                  ment is our nation's largest energy consumer. By ensuring account-
                  ability at the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) level, H.R.
                  1420 aims for all Federal agencies to take concrete steps to reduce
                  energy consumption of Federal data centers.
                    According to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory Center
                  of Expertise for Energy Efficiency in Data Centers, Federal data
                  centers alone consume more than six billion kilowatt hours of en-
                  ergy each year, and the total cost to supply that energy surpasses
                  $600 million per year. The surging demand for data storage has led
