EXEMPTIONS.—The 
regulations

under paragraph (1) shall include procedures for the 
Secretary to exempt specialty lamps from the re-
quirements of paragraph (1). The Secretary may

public comment, that it is not technically feasible to 
serve a specialized lighting application, such as a 
military, medical, public safety application, or in cer-
tified historic lighting applications using bulbs that 
meet the requirements of paragraph (1). In addition, 
the Secretary shall include as an additional criterion

the general service lighting applications. 
(3) ADDITIONAL LAMPS TYPES.— 
(A) Manufacturers of rough service, vibra-
tion service, vibration resistant, appliance, shat-
ter resistant, and three-way lamps shall report 
annual sales volume to the Secretary. If the 
Secretary determines that annual sales volume 
for any of these lamp types increases by 100 
percent relative to 2009 sales in any later year, 
then such lamps shall by subject to the fol-
lowing standards: 
(i) Appliance lamps shall use no more 
than 40 watts. 
(ii) Rough service lamps shall use no 
more than 40 watts. 
(iii) Vibration service and vibration 
resistant lamps shall use no more than 40 
watts. 
(iv) Three-way lamps shall comply 
with the standards in paragraph (1) at 
each level of rated lumen output.

(4) CIVIL PENALTY.—The Secretary of Energy 
shall include in regulations under this subsection a 
schedule of appropriate civil penalties for violations 
of the prohibitions under this subsection. Such pen-
alties shall be in an amount sufficient to ensure 
compliance with this section. 
(5) STATE PREEMPTION.—State standards for 
general service lamps are preempted as of the date 
of enactment of this Act, except— 
(A) any State standard already enacted or 
adopted as of the date of enactment of this Act 
may be enforced until the Federal effective 
dates for each lamp category, and such States 
may modify existing State standards for general 
service lamps to conform with the standards in 
paragraph (1) at any time; 
(B) any State standard identical to the 
standards in paragraph (1)(B) with an effective 
date no sooner than January 1, 2015; and

(2) for each fiscal year shall not exceed one-half of the 
excess of funding under this subsection over $5,000,000 
for the fiscal year.’’. 
(b) DEFINITION.—Section 303 of the Energy Con-
servation and Production Act (42 U.S.C. 6832) is amend-

SEC. 132. ENERGY CODE IMPROVEMENTS APPLICABLE TO 
MANUFACTURED HOUSING. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 4 years after the 
date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Energy 
shall by regulation establish standards for energy effi-
ciency in manufactured housing. 
(b) CERTAIN
REQUIREMENTS.—The regulations 
under subsection (a) shall be in accordance with the fol-
lowing: 
(1) The energy conservation standards estab-
lished under this subsection shall be based on the 
most recent version of the International Energy 
Conservation Code (including supplements) except 
where the Secretary finds that such code is not cost- 
effective, or a more stringent standard would be

more cost-effective, based on total life-cycle con-
struction and operating costs. 
(2) The energy conservation standards estab-
lished under this subsection may— 
(A) take into consideration the design and 
factory construction techniques of manufac-
tured homes; 
(B) be based on the climate zones estab-
lished by the Department of Housing and 
Urban Development rather than those under 
the International Energy Conservation Code; 
and 
(C) provide for alternative practices that 
result in net estimated energy consumption 
equal to or less than the specified standards. 
(3) The energy conservation standards estab-
lished under this subsection shall be updated within 
one year after the date of enactment of this Act and 
within one year after any revision to the Inter-
national Energy Conservation Code. 
(c) ENFORCEMENT.—Any manufacturer of manufac-
tured housing that violates a provision of the regulations 
under subsection (a) is liable to the United States for a 
civil penalty in an amount not exceeding 1 percent of the

SEC. 133. BASELINE BUILDING DESIGNS. 
Section 327(f)(3)(D) of the Energy Policy and Con-
servation Act (42 U.S.C. 6297(f)(3)(D)) is amended to 
read as follows: 
‘‘(D) If the code uses one or more baseline 
building designs against which all submitted building 
designs are to be evaluated and such baseline build-
ing designs contain a covered product subject to an 
energy conservation standard established in or pre-
scribed under section 325, the baseline building de-
signs are based on the efficiency level for such cov-
ered product which— 
‘‘(i) meets but does not exceed such stand-
ard; 
‘‘(ii) is the efficiency level required by a 
regulation of that State for which the Secretary 
has issued a rule granting a waiver under sub-
section (d) of this section; or 
‘‘(iii) is a level that, when evaluated in the 
baseline building design, the State has found to 
be feasible and cost-effective.’’.

SEC. 134. REAUTHORIZATION OF WEATHERIZATION ASSIST-
ANCE PROGRAM. 
(a) AMENDMENT.—Section 422 of the Energy Con-
servation and Production Act (42 U.S.C. 6872) is amend-
ed by striking ‘‘$500,000,000 for fiscal year 2006, 
$600,000,000 for fiscal year 2007, and $700,000,000 for 
fiscal year 2008’’ and inserting ‘‘$600,000,000 for fiscal 
year 2007, and $750,000,000 for each of fiscal years 
2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and 2012. From those sums, the 
Secretary is authorized to initiate an Alternative Delivery 
System Pilot Project to examine options for decreasing en-
ergy consumption associated with heating and cooling 
while increasing household participation by focusing on 
key energy saving components. Alternative Delivery Sys-
tem Pilot Projects should be undertaken in both hot and 
cold urban areas’’. 
(b) SUSTAINABLE ENERGY RESOURCES FOR CON-
SUMERS GRANTS.—(1) The Secretary of Energy may 
make funding available to local Weatherization agencies 
from amounts authorized under the amendment made by 
subsection (a) to expand the weatherization assistance 
program for residential buildings to include materials, 
benefits, and renewable and domestic energy technologies 
not currently covered by the program, provided that the 
State Weatherization grantee has certified that the appli-
cant has the capacity to carry out the proposed activities

and that the grantee will include the project in its finan-
cial oversight of the Weatherization Assistance program. 
(2) In selecting the grants, the program shall give 
priority to— 
(A) the expected effectiveness and benefits of 
the proposed project to low- and moderate-income 
energy consumers; 
(B) the potential for replication of successful 
results; 
(C) the impact on the health and safety and en-
ergy costs of those served; and 
(D) the extent of partnerships with other public 
and private entities that contribute to the resources 
and implementation of the program, including finan-
cial partnerships. 
(3) Funding for such projects may equal up to two 
percent of funding in any fiscal year, provided that no 
funding is utilized for Sustainable Energy Resources for 
Consumers grants in any fiscal year in which Weatheriza-
tion appropriations are less than $275,000,000.
