# §436.100. Purpose and scope.

- (a) **Purpose.** The purpose of this subpart is to provide guidelines for use by Federal agencies in their development of overall 10-year energy management plans to establish energy conservation goals, to reduce the rate of energy consumption, to promote the efficient use of energy, to promote switching for petroleum-based fuels and natural gas to coal and other energy sources, to provide a methodology for reporting their progress in meeting the goals of those plans, and to promote emergency energy conservation planning to assuage the impact of a sudden disruption in the supply of oil-based fuels, natural gas or electricity. The plan is intended to provide the cornerstone for a program to conserve energy in the general operations of an agency.
- (b) **Scope.** This subpart applies to all general operations of Federal agencies and is applicable to management of all energy used by Federal agencies that is excluded from coverage pursuant to [section 543(a)(2)](/cfr/10/543.md?p=a-2) of [part 3](/cfr/10/part3.md) of title V of the National Energy Conservation Policy Act, as amended ([42 U.S.C. 8251-8261](/usc/42/8251-8261.md)).
