Revises the term "poverty level" for purposes of such Act to mean, with respect to any household in a State, the income poverty line as prescribed and revised pursuant to the Community Services Block Grant Act. Provides that the State median income promulgated by the Secretary of Health and Human Services shall be adjusted to prevent any change in income calculation procedures which would result in the reduction in or exclusion from participation of households in programs under the Act. Prohibits the allotment of funds to a State for low-income home energy assistance unless the Secretary determines that the State's application for funds satisfies the requirements of the Act and reviews such application for completeness. Provides that such applications will be considered to have satisfied such requirements unless the Secretary decides to the contrary within 30 days. Requires at least five percent of a State's allotment to be reserved until May 15 of each year for energy crisis intervention. Requires that a State's annual application for funds for low-income home energy assistance indicate: (1) the number and type of households in the State eligible for such assistance; (2) the level of and method for determining household benefits under the assistance program; and (3) the method of program administration to be used. Requires as part of such application that a State agree to: (1) provide assurances that such State, except as otherwise provided in this Act, will not differentiate between specified households when administering such assistance; (2) provide that such State may not use more than ten percent of its low-income energy assistance allotment (based on the amount of funds remaining for a State after funds for such assistance are reserved by the Secretary for Indian tribes) for planning and administering of such assistance; (3) describe energy usage and the average cost of home energy in the State; (4) designate local community-based public or nonprofit entities to administer energy crisis intervention programs; (5) indicate the amount which the State will reserve for energy crisis intervention and the administrative procedures for designating an energy crisis, for determining the amount of assistance to be provided during such a crisis, and for determining the use of funds reserved for energy crisis intervention but not so used; and (6) cooperate with the Secretary with respect to data collecting and reporting relating to home energy consumption and use. Requires that the State plan which is part of the annual application contain funding estimates for the State's low-income home energy assistance programs, describe the eligibility requirements to be used under such programs, and describe weatherization and other energy-related home repair the State will provide. Requires any substantial revisions of a State plan to be made available for public inspection. Provides that a State shall expend funds in accordance with a State plan reviewed by the Secretary. Requires that the periodic evaluation by the Comptroller General of State expenditures of grants received under the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Act of 1981 occur at least every three years. Increases the maximum amount of funds received under the Act which a State may use for low-cost residential weatherization or other energy-related home repair for low-income households. Decreases the maximum amount of grant money allotted for a fiscal year to a State for low-income home energy assistance which a State may request to be held available for the next fiscal year. Provides that such request shall include a statement of the reasons that such amount allotted to such State for a fiscal year will not be used by such State during such fiscal year and a description of the types of assistance to be provided with the amount held available for the following fiscal year. Provides that an amount allotted to a State for a fiscal year shall be determined on the amount of funds remaining for such State after funds for energy assistance are reserved by the Secretary for Indian tribes.

(Current law sets a limit of one lease per person or corporation.) Limits leases to a maximum of 5,120 acres, unless a lease of that size is insufficient to support commercial-scale operations, in which case the Secretary may increase the acreage to 15,360 acres after: (1) considering the resource recovery potential of the tract; (2) determining that additional acreage is necessary to have an economically viable commercial operation; and (3) documenting the basis for the increased acreage. Directs the Secretary before the issuance of such leases to prepare a comprehensive land use plan that complies with specified provisions of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976. Directs the Secretary to consult with the Governor and State and local officials of those States where the lands to be leased are located. Requires a State to establish a separate distribution system for moneys received by the United States from sales and rentals of public lands leased for the extraction and reduction of oil shale, including offsite leases, and paid to such State. Permits the Secretary to lease lands for the disposal of oil shale wastes and the materials removed from mined lands, and for the building of plants, reduction works, and other facilities connected with oil shale operations (referred to as an offsite lease). Sets forth specified terms and conditions of an oil shale lease. Permits, on a competitive basis, the award of oil shale leases. Permits, on a noncompetitive basis, the award of: (1) offsite leases; (2) leases for lands adjacent to operating oil shale projects; (3) leases for experimental or research purposes relating to the testing of oil shale technologies; and (4) leases to avoid bypass of Federal resources which could not otherwise be economically developed, or to supplement otherwise noncommercial parcels of non-Federal lands. Permits the Secretary to enter into agreements with States or private parties to issue oil shale leases or offsite leases for the assembling of lands of mixed ownership for the development of oil shale. Authorizes the Secretary to issue oil shale leases allowing the mining, extraction, and disposal of other mineral deposits, excluding oil and gas. Prohibits the issuance of an oil shale lease or offsite lease that will yield less than fair market value to the United States. Provides for expedited judicial review of the Secretary's decisions with respect to the issuance of such leases. Requires a lessee to submit a conceptual plan for the long-term development of an oil shale lease. Requires the Secretary to coordinate with the Secretary of Energy, other specified Federal agencies, and private parties in performing research on oil shale development.

Indian Coal Mining Regulatory Act of 1984

United States · United States Congress · 27 July 1984

Indian Coal Mining Regulatory Act of 1984 - Makes Indian lands within the exterior boundaries of any Federal Indian reservation subject to this Act. Creates within the Treasury the Tribal Abandoned Mine Reclamation Fund (The Tribal Fund), comprised of funds generated by surface coal mining activities within exterior boundaries of Indian reservations under the Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977. Authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to expend specified funds in any State or to any Indian tribe for surface mining reclamation purposes. Directs the Secretary to invest on a quarterly basis all receipts accruing to the Tribal Fund in public debt securities. Requires a specified percentage of the Tribal Funds annual deposits to be allocated by the Secretary to: (1) tribes with ownership interests in the coal; and (2) Indian lands adversely affected by past mining practices. Requires specified funds to be allocated to Indian tribes from whose lands such funds were derived. Enumerates the purposes for which appropriations from the Tribal Fund may be expended by Indian tribes. Authorizes Indian tribes to submit tribal regulatory programs concerning surface coal mining operations within exterior reservation boundaries. Authorizes such tribes to adopt a partial, phased regulatory program to be implemented over a period of time. Directs the Secretary to: (1) approve or disapprove a tribal regulatory program within a certain time period; and (2) implement a Federal Indian lands program for certain aspects of Federal surface coal mining and reclamation law which have not been assumed by an Indian tribe under an approved tribal regulatory program. Authorizes any Indian tribe to contract: (1) with the Secretary for tribal participation in a Federal program; or (2) with the States for tribal participation in State regulatory programs where a mining operation extends beyond the exterior boundary of an Indian reservation. Declares the Federal Government to be the exclusive authority for the regulation of surface coal mining and reclamation operations on an Indian reservation if no tribal regulatory program exists. Makes certain Federal law regarding surface owner protection applicable to all coal owned or held in trust for Indians by the United States if the coal is to be mined by methods other than underground mining techniques. Confers original jurisdiction upon tribal courts and authorities to impose civil penalties for violations regarding surface coal mining reclamation operations on Indian lands. Makes final tribal court judgments appealable to a Federal district court. Precludes any criminal jurisdiction by tribal courts over non-Indians. Authorizes civil actions by private citizens to compel compliance with this Act. Authorizes the Secretary to make grants to Indian tribes for tribal regulatory programs. Sets conflict-of-interests guidelines regarding appointments to a tribal regulatory authority. Prohibits any consideration of a mining permit application until the appropriate tribe has evaluated an archaeological, historical and cultural resources investigation of the proposed mining area. Requires the Secretary to submit an annual report to the President and the Congress regarding implementation of this Act. Authorizes appropriations.

Conservation Service Reform Act of 1984

United States · United States Congress · 26 July 1984

Conservation Service Reform Act of 1984 - Title I: Residential Conservation Service - Amends the National Energy Conservation Policy Act to extend until January 1, 1990, the time period within which energy conservation information requirements imposed upon public utilities and home heating suppliers shall apply. (Under current law, such requirements apply through January 1, 1985.) Eliminates requirements that public utilities and home heating suppliers: (1) arrange to have suggested energy conservation measures installed for residential customers; (2) arrange for related loans for such customers; and (3) provide such customers with lists of suppliers and contractors who sell or install energy conservation measures in the area served by the utilities and home heating suppliers and of lending institutions which will offer loans for the installation of such measures. Provides that an application by a utility for an exemption from the requirements under such Act which is pending on the date of the enactment of this Act shall be considered approved unless the Secretary of Energy disapproves it within 30 days after such date. Permits a State or a utility to elect to formulate and certify an alternative residential energy conservation plan in lieu of the residential energy conservation plan required to be approved by the Secretary pursuant to the National Energy Conservation Policy Act. (Permits alternative plans by utilities where an alternative State plan is not in effect or in the case of a nonregulated utility which is not included in a State plan.) Sets forth procedural requirements for the formulation of such an alternative plan. Requires that such an alternative plan: (1) provide general energy conservation suggestions to all residential customers of utilities in the State; (2) provide specific energy conservation information and improvements to customers upon their requests; (3) provide benefits to a specified percentage of residential buildings which did not receive benefits under such Act before such plan became effective; (4) reduce energy consumption by an average of ten percent or more in such residential buildings; (5) benefit low- and moderate-income individuals as well as others; (6) contain adequate procedures for installation of energy conservation measures; (7) prevent unfair, deceptive, and anticompetitive practices affecting commerce; (8) be carried out by the State, utilities within the State, or both (except in the case of a plan being certified by a utility rather than the State); (9) contain rules concerning accounting and payment of costs which are consistent with such Act; (10) provide redress for any injuries resulting from violations of plan provisions; and (11) assure that the utility will not inspect a furnace or install or inspect furnace efficiency modifications without the customer's request in the case of a furnace using a primary source of energy other than that sold by the utility. Requires the State or the utility to certify that its alternative plan has been formulated in accordance with this Act and will be adequately implemented. Sets forth reporting requirements with which the State or utility must comply. Sets forth administrative and judicial proceedings which may be commenced to require the adequate implementation of an alternative plan. Requires the Secretary of Energy to report to specified congressional committees on the residential energy conservation plans required under the National Energy Conservation Policy Act and on the alternative plans described above. Requires the Secretary to disseminate information annually to the States and public utilities providing technical assistance and relating to the most cost-effective energy conservation procedures and devices and the most successful residential energy conservation plans. Provides as an additional requirement relating to the waiver of the prohibition against supply and installation of residential energy conservation measures by public utilities that there be no unfair competitive advantages to the utility seeking such waiver. Prohibits the Governor of a State from supporting the petition of a regulated utility for such a waiver before: (1) the Governor has notified the public of the waiver petition so that interested persons may make comments and the governor has made the same determinations which the Secretary must make in approving such a petition; and (2) the utility makes all relevant information available to the Governor. Revises requirements with respect to the application of the contracting and general exemptions from the prohibition against supply and installation of residential energy conservation measures by public utilities. Sets forth review procedures for such exemptions. Title II: Repeal of Provisions Regarding Commercial Buildings and Multifamily Dwellings - Repeals title VII of the National Energy Conservation Policy Act.

Council Regulation (EEC) No 2126/84 of 23 July 1984 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1972/83 on the granting of financial support for demonstration projects relating to the exploitation of alternative energy sources and to energy saving and the substitution of hydrocarbons
