Utility Rebates Available Beyond the Fiscal Year

3. Develop appropriate rules, procedures, or proposed legislation to
allow rebates from utility companies to remain available beyond the
fiscal year and to be used to fund additional energy efficiency and
water conservation projects or to reduce the facility_s future utility
bill. (1)

Agencies' heads should, within 120 days of the President's directive,
develop appropriate rules, procedures, or proposed legislation, if
necessary, to ensure:

-- rebates or incentive money is returned to the site where the savings
occurred; and

-- rebates are available to fund energy improvement or water
conservation projects or, alternatively, to be applied toward future
utility bills.
