SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Motor Systems Market Awareness Act 
of 2014''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds that--
            (1) motors and motor-driven systems account for a 
        significant quantity of the electricity used in the United 
        States;
            (2) motor electrical energy use is determined by the 
        efficiency of the motor and the design of the motor-driven 
        system in which the motor and the drive operate;
            (3) Federal Government research on commercial and 
        industrial motors and motor-driven system use and efficiency is 
        outdated;
            (4) the Bureau of the Census has discontinued collection of 
        data on motor and generator importation, manufacture, shipment, 
        and sales;
            (5) the last Department of Energy motor market assessment 
        was conducted in 2002;
            (6) motor and motor-driven systems have changed 
        dramatically during the 12-year period ending on the date of 
        enactment of this Act; and
            (7) a new motor and motor-driven system market assessment 
        will help United States manufacturers better understand the 
        commercial marketplace and become more globally competitive.

systems used in the United States.
    (b) Assessment.--In conducting the assessment under subsection (a), 
the Secretary shall--
            (1) develop a detailed profile of the stock of motors and 
        motor-driven systems in commercial and industrial facilities of 
        the United States (as of the date of enactment of this Act);
            (2) develop a profile of commercial and industrial motor 
        and motor-driven system purchase and maintenance practices;
            (3) analyze the opportunities (by market segment) for 
        improved energy efficiency and cost savings available through--
                    (A) the use of energy efficient motors, variable 
                speed drives, servo drives, and other control 
                technologies;
                    (B) optimization of motor-driven systems; and
                    (C) substitution of existing motor designs with new 
                and future advanced motor and motor-driven system 
                designs, including--
                            (i) electronically commutated permanent 
                        magnet motors;
