operation (including incentives offered under this Part). 
Such criteria will include standards that insure that 
projects proposed for inclusion in the Registry are not de-
veloped for the primary purpose of making sales of excess 
electric power under the regulatory treatment provided 
under this Part. 
‘‘(c) TECHNICAL SUPPORT.—The Administrator shall 
provide to owners or operators of combustion sources tech-
nical support and offer partial funding (up to one-half of 
total costs) for feasibility studies to confirm whether or 
not investment in recovery of waste energy or combined 
heat and power at that source would offer a payback pe-
riod of 5 years or less. 
‘‘(d) REGISTRY.—(1) The Administrator shall, within 
one year after the enactment of this section, establish a 
Registry of Recoverable Waste-energy Sources, and sites 
on which those sources are located, which meet the criteria 
set forth under subsection (b). The Administrator shall 
update the Registry on not less than a monthly basis, and 
make the Registry accessible to the public on the Environ-
mental Protection Agency web site. Any State or electric 
utility may contest the listing of any source or site by sub-
mitting a petition to the Administrator. 
‘‘(2) The Administrator shall register and include on 
the Registry all sites meeting the criteria of subsection (b).

The Administrator shall calculate the total amounts of po-
tentially recoverable waste energy from sources at such 
sites, nationally and by State, and shall make such totals 
public, together with information on the air pollutant and 
greenhouse gas emissions savings that might be achieved 
with recovery of the waste energy from all sources and 
sites listed in the Registry. 
‘‘(3) The Administrator shall notify owners or opera-
tors of Recoverable Waste-Energy Sources and sites listed 
in the Registry prior to publishing the listing. The owner 
or operator of sources at such sites may elect to have de-
tailed quantitative information concerning that site not 
made public by notifying the Administrator of that elec-
tion. Information concerning that site shall be included in 
State totals unless there are fewer than 3 sites in the 
State. 
‘‘(4) As waste energy projects achieve successful re-
covery of waste energy, the Administrator shall remove the 
related sites or sources from the Registry, and shall des-
ignate the removed projects as eligible for the incentive 
provisions provided under this Part and the regulatory 
treatment required by this Part. No project shall be re-
moved from the Registry without the consent of the owner 
or operator of the project if the owner or operator has

submitted a petition under section 375 and such petition 
has not been acted upon or denied. 
‘‘(5) The Administrator shall not list any source con-
structed after the date of the enactment of this Part on 
the Registry if the Administrator determines that such 
source— 
‘‘(A) was developed for the primary purpose of 
making sales of excess electric power under the reg-
ulatory treatment provided under this Part; or 
‘‘(B) does not capture at least 60 percent of the 
total energy value of the fuels used (on a lower-heat-
ing-value basis) in the form of useful thermal en-
ergy, electricity, mechanical energy, chemical output, 
or some combination of them. 
‘‘(e) SELF-CERTIFICATION.—Owners, operators, or 
third-party developers of industrial waste-energy projects 
that qualify under standards established by the Adminis-
trator may self-certify their sites or sources to the Admin-
istrator for inclusion in the Registry, subject to procedures 
adopted by the Administrator. To prevent a fraudulent 
listing, the sources shall be included on the Registry only 
if the Administrator confirms the submitted data, at the 
Administrator’s discretion.

industrial facility is developed after the enactment of this
