the Secretary shall also create a national public rec-
ognition initiative to encourage participation in tree- 
planting programs by retail power providers. 
(3) ELIGIBILITY.—Only those programs which 
utilize targeted, strategic tree-siting guidelines to 
plant trees in relation to building location, sunlight, 
and prevailing wind direction shall be eligible for as-
sistance under this section. 
(4) REQUIREMENTS.—In order to qualify for as-
sistance under this section, a tree-planting program 
shall meet each of the following requirements: 
(A) The program shall provide free or dis-
counted shade-providing or wind-reducing trees 
to residential and small office consumers inter-
ested in lowering their home energy costs. 
(B) The program shall optimize the elec-
tricity-consumption reduction benefit of each tree 
by planting in strategic locations around a given 
residence or small office. 
(C) The program shall either— 
(i) provide maximum amounts of 
shade during summer intervals when resi-
dences and small offices are exposed to the 
most sun intensity; or

(ii) provide maximum amounts of 
wind protection during fall and winter in-
tervals when residences and small offices are 
exposed to the most wind intensity. 
(D) The program shall use the best available 
science to create tree siting guidelines which dic-
tate where the optimum tree species are best 
planted in locations that achieve maximum re-
ductions in consumer energy demand while caus-
ing the least disruption to public infrastructure, 
considering overhead and underground facilities. 
(E) The program shall receive certification 
from the Secretary that it is designed to achieve 
the goals set forth in subparagraphs (A) through
