Most of the focus thus far has centered on omnibus energy bills\nintroduced in the House ( H.R. 4 ) and in the Senate ( S. 596 / S. 597 and S. 388 / S. 389 ).\n The omnibus energy bills from both the House and the Senate have several energy efficiency\nprovisions. H.R. 4 , the Securing America's Energy Future (SAFE) Act, comprises four\nmajor house bills: H.R. 2436 , H.R. 2460 , H.R. 2511 , and\n H.R. 2587 . This bill covers many provisions from the Bush Administration's National\nEnergy Policy (NEP) report and legislates on several NEP administrative action provisions. It\npassed the House on August 2, 2001, and had a second reading in the Senate on September 4.\n On Sept. 6, 2001, the Senate Energy Committee Chairman issued a \"Chairman's Mark\" for an\nomnibus Senate energy bill, summarizing \"intended sections yet to be marked up.\" The Chairman's\nstatement says the forthcoming bill would have a major focus on energy efficiency. Many of the\nforthcoming bill's provisions are expected to be derived from the Democratic energy bills,\n S. 597 and S. 596 , and from the Republican energy bills, S. 388 and S. 389 .\n More than 70 energy efficiency bills have been introduced so far. These bills are listed in the\nreport, with descriptions of their provisions and notations for committee reports and hearings. Also,\na selected list of hearings is added.\n (This report supplements the tracking of energy efficiency policy issues that appears in CRS Issue Brief IB10020.)", "type": "CRS Report", "typeId": "REPORTS", "active": false, "formats": [ { "format": "PDF", "encoding": null, "url": "http://www.crs.gov/Reports/pdf/RL31127", "sha1": "073cc7967d9271627cf4ad4f4ed9b27bda069d48", "filename": "files/20010919_RL31127_073cc7967d9271627cf4ad4f4ed9b27bda069d48.pdf", "images": null }, { "format": "HTML", "filename": "files/20010919_RL31127_073cc7967d9271627cf4ad4f4ed9b27bda069d48.html" } ], "topics": [] } ], "topics": [ "Energy Policy", "Foreign Affairs" ] }
