SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

432 of the Energy Independence and 

Security Act of 2007 (EISA) amends 

section 543 of the National Energy 

Conservation Policy Act, by adding a 

new subsection that describes Federal 

agency facility energy and water project 

management and benchmarking 

requirements, including: 

• Designate covered facilities and 

assign facility energy managers for 

ensuring compliance of covered 

facilities subject to the requirements; 

• Conduct comprehensive energy and 

water evaluations; 

• Implement identified efficiency 

measures; 

• Follow-up on implemented 

efficiency measures; 

• Deploy and use web-based tracking 

system for covered facilities’ energy use, 

evaluations, projects, follow-up and 

analysis; 

• Benchmark metered buildings that 

are, or part of, covered facilities; and 

• Disclose Federal agency progress in 

evaluating covered facilities, project 

implementation, follow-up status, and 

benchmarked building performance 

implementation status. (42 U.S.C. 

8253(f)(4)) 

The draft Guidance for the 

Implementation and Follow-up of 

Identified Energy and Water Efficiency 

Measures in Covered Facilities (per 42 

U.S.C. 8253 Subsection (f), Use of 

Energy and Water Efficiency Measures 

in Federal Buildings) provides guidance 

to Federal agencies pertaining to the 

implementation of energy and water 

efficiency measures identified and 

undertaken per Section 432 of EISA (42 

U.S.C. 8253(f)(4) and (5)) and details 

how these activities fit into the 

comprehensive approach to Federal 

agency facility energy and water 

management. 

This draft guidance is available at: 

http://www1.eere.energy.gov/femp/pdfs/ 

draft_EISA_project_guidance.pdf. DOE 

will accept comments, data, and 

information regarding the draft guidance 

no later than the date specified in the 

DATES section.

filed applications, and on May 19, 2010, 

Montgomery Hydro, LLC, filed an 

application, pursuant to section 4(f) of 

the Federal Power Act, proposing to 

study the feasibility of hydropower at 

the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 

Montgomery Locks and Dam on the 

Ohio River near the town of Industry, in 

Beaver County, Pennsylvania. The sole 

purpose of a preliminary permit, if 

issued, is to grant the permit holder 

priority to file a license application 

during the permit term. A preliminary 

permit does not authorize the permit 

holder to perform any land-disturbing 

activities or otherwise enter upon lands 

or waters owned by others without the 

owners’ express permission. 

Descriptions of the proposed 

Montgomery Locks and Dam Projects: 

Lock+TM Hydro Friends Fund XXXVI’s 

proposed project (Project No. 13733– 

000) would consist of: (1) Two lock 

frame modules 170 feet long, 40 feet 

high, and weighing 1.16 million pounds 

each, and containing 15 generating units 

with a total combined capacity of 54 

megawatts (MW); (2) a 67-foot-high, 75- 

foot-long prefabricated concrete wall 

attached to pilings in the river to 

support each lock frame module; (3) a 

25-foot-long, 50-foot-wide switchyard 

containing a transformer; and (4) a 

2,000-foot-long, 69-kilovolt (kV) 

transmission line to an existing 

substation. The proposed project would 

have an average annual generation of 

236.68 gigawatt-hours (GWh), which 

would be sold to a local utility.
