through a methodology set forth in the contract, used in an existing
federally owned building or buildings or other federally owned
facilities as a result of\--\
\
     \"(A) the lease or purchase of operating equipment, improvements,
altered operation and maintenance, or technical services;\
\
     \"(B) the increased efficient use of existing energy sources by
cogeneration or heat recovery, excluding any cogeneration process for
other than a federally owned building or buildings or other federally
owned facilities; or\

performance contract\' mean a contract that provides for the performance
of services for the design, acquisition, installation, testing, and,
where appropriate, operation, maintenance, and repair, of an identified
energy or water conservation measure or series of measures at 1 or more
locations. Such contracts shall, with respect to an agency facility that
is a public building (as such term is defined in section 3301 of title
40, United States Code), be in compliance with the prospectus
requirements and procedures of section 3307 of title 40, United States

     \"(A) an energy conservation measure, as defined in section 551;
or\
\
     \"(B) a water conservation measure that improves the efficiency of
water use, is life-cycle cost-effective, and involves water
conservation, water recycling or reuse, more efficient treatment of
wastewater or stormwater, improvements in operation or maintenance
efficiencies, retrofit activities, or other related activities, not at a
Federal hydroelectric facility.\".\
\
(f) Review.\--Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of
this Act, the Secretary of Energy shall complete a review of the Energy
Savings Performance Contract program to identify statutory, regulatory,
and administrative obstacles that prevent Federal agencies from fully
utilizing the program. In addition, this review shall identify all areas
for increasing program flexibility and effectiveness, including audit
and measurement verification requirements, accounting for energy use in
determining savings, contracting requirements, including the
identification of additional qualified contractors, and energy
efficiency services covered. The Secretary shall report these findings
to Congress and shall implement identified administrative and regulatory
changes to increase program flexibility and effectiveness to the extent
that such changes are consistent with statutory authority.\
\
(g) Extension of Authority.\--Any energy savings performance contract
