            (2) by adding at the end the following new paragraph:
            ``(6) Innovative component technologies.--Subparagraph (C) 
        of paragraph (1) shall not apply to a walk-in cooler or walk-in 
        freezer component if the component manufacturer has 
        demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Secretary that the 
        component reduces energy consumption at least as much as if 
        such subparagraph were to apply. In support of any 
        demonstration under this paragraph, a manufacturer shall 
        provide to the Secretary all data and technical information 
        necessary to fully evaluate its application.''.
