DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy

AGENCY: Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Today's notice announces the members of the Federal
Interagency Energy Policy Committee (656 Committee) as designated by
each agency. Section 310 of Executive Order 12902, Energy Efficiency
and Water Conservation at Federal Facilities, requires each agency head
to designate a senior official, at the Assistant Secretary level or
above, to be responsible for achieving the requirements of the Order
and appoint such official to the 656 Committee. This notice is being
published in the interest of open communication within the Federal
Government.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark Ginsberg, EE-90, U.S. Department
of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20585, 202-
586-5772.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 201 of Executive Order No. 12902, 59
FR 11463 (1994), state that the Federal Interagency Energy Policy
Committee (``656 Committee'') serves as a forum to coordinate issues
involved in implementing energy efficiency, water conservation, and
solar and other renewable energy in the Federal sector.
The ``656'' Committee originated from the legislative requirements
of Section 656 of the Department of Energy Organization Act, 42 U.S.C.
7266. This Section required the Secretaries of Defense, Commerce,
Energy, Housing and Urban Development, Transportation, Agriculture, and
the Interior; the Postmaster General of the United States Postal
Service; and the Administrator of the General Services Administration
each to designate one Assistant Secretary or Assistant Administrator as
the principal energy conservation officer of the respective Department
or Administration.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Veterans
Administration (currently the Department of Veterans Affairs), and the
Environmental Protection Agency were asked by the Department of Energy
to designate an individual of similar status to participate as a
member. These 12 agencies consume approximately 98 percent of all
Federal energy. The Departments of Education, Health and Human
Services, Labor, State, and Treasury were invited to join in October,
1993.
The ``656'' Committee is chaired by the Assistant Secretary for
Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy. It meets
periodically to provide policy guidance and to review agency progress
on Federal energy conservation plans and associated investments. The
purpose of the Committee is to strengthen energy conservation programs
which emphasize productivity through the efficient use of energy, and
concurrently encourage interagency cooperation in energy conservation.
It permits top management of the Federal Government to focus attention
on the tasks and missions related to National objectives rather than on
the tasks of a particular agency.
