a Federal facility. 
(d) REPORT.—Not later than April 15, 2007, and 
every 2 years thereafter, the Secretary of Energy shall 
provide a report to Congress on the progress of the Fed-
eral Government in meeting the goals established by this 
section. 
SEC. 204. INSULAR AREAS ENERGY SECURITY. 
Section 604 of the Act entitled ‘‘An Act to authorize 
appropriations for certain insular areas of the United 
States, and for other purposes’’, approved December 24, 
1980 (48 U.S.C. 1492), is amended—
(1) in subsection (a)(4) by striking the period 
and inserting a semicolon; 
(2) by adding at the end of subsection (a) the 
following new paragraphs: 
‘‘(5) electric power transmission and distribu-
tion lines in insular areas are inadequate to with-
stand damage caused by the hurricanes and ty-
phoons which frequently occur in insular areas and 
such damage often costs millions of dollars to repair; 
and 
‘‘(6) the refinement of renewable energy tech-
nologies since the publication of the 1982 Territorial 
Energy Assessment prepared pursuant to subsection
(c) reveals the need to reassess the state of energy 
production, consumption, infrastructure, reliance on 
imported energy, opportunities for energy conserva-
tion and increased energy efficiency, and indigenous 
sources in regard to the insular areas.’’; 
(3) by amending subsection (e) to read as fol-
lows: 
‘‘(e)(1) The Secretary of the Interior, in consultation 
with the Secretary of Energy and the head of government 
of each insular area, shall update the plans required under 
subsection (c) by—
‘‘(A) updating the contents required by sub-
section (c); 
‘‘(B) drafting long-term energy plans for such 
insular areas with the objective of reducing, to the 
extent feasible, their reliance on energy imports by 
the year 2012, increasing energy conservation and 
energy efficiency, and maximizing, to the extent fea-
sible, use of indigenous energy sources; and 
‘‘(C) drafting long-term energy transmission 
line plans for such insular areas with the objective 
that the maximum percentage feasible of electric 
power transmission and distribution lines in each in-
sular area be protected from damage caused by hur-
ricanes and typhoons.
‘‘(2) Not later than December 31, 2006, the Sec-
retary of the Interior shall submit to Congress the updated 
plans for each insular area required by this subsection.’’; 
and 
(4) by amending subsection (g)(4) to read as 
follows: 
‘‘(4) POWER
LINE
GRANTS
FOR
INSULAR 
AREAS.—
‘‘(A) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary of the 
Interior is authorized to make grants to govern-
ments of insular areas of the United States to 
carry out eligible projects to protect electric 
power transmission and distribution lines in 
such insular areas from damage caused by hur-
ricanes and typhoons. 
‘‘(B) ELIGIBLE PROJECTS.—The Secretary 
may award grants under subparagraph (A) only 
to governments of insular areas of the United 
States that submit written project plans to the 
Secretary for projects that meet the following 
criteria: 
‘‘(i) The project is designed to protect 
electric power transmission and distribu-
tion lines located in 1 or more of the insu-
lar areas of the United States from dam-
age caused by hurricanes and typhoons. 
‘‘(ii) The project is likely to substan-
tially reduce the risk of future damage, 
hardship, loss, or suffering. 
‘‘(iii) The project addresses 1 or more 
problems that have been repetitive or that 
pose a significant risk to public health and 
safety. 
‘‘(iv) The project is not likely to cost 
more than the value of the reduction in di-
rect damage and other negative impacts 
that the project is designed to prevent or 
mitigate. The cost benefit analysis required 
by this criterion shall be computed on a 
net present value basis. 
‘‘(v) The project design has taken into 
consideration long-term changes to the 
areas and persons it is designed to protect 
and has manageable future maintenance 
and modification requirements. 
‘‘(vi) The project plan includes an 
analysis of a range of options to address 
the problem it is designed to prevent or
