The National Energy Policy proposed by President Bush included the following directives to the Environmental Protection Agency:

EPA Directives in the President's National Energy Policy Report

• Multi-pollutant legislation
  EPA is directed to propose legislation and work with Congress to establish mandatory reduction targets for sulfur, nitrogen oxide and mercury. The legislation should include a reasonable phase in period, regulatory certainty for utilities, and market based incentives.
• Energy Star
  The Energy Star program should be expanded to include schools, retail buildings, health care facilities, and homes.
• Combined Heat and Power (CHP)
  EPA should work with local and state governments to promote the use of well-designed CHP and other clean power generation at brownfield sites and to clarify any liability issues that may be raised. In addition, guidance should be drafted to shorten the time needed to obtain CHP permits and provide certainty to industry through consistent implementation. CHP should be promoted through flexibility in environmental permitting.
• Energy Efficiency
  EPA is directed to develop and implement a strategy to increase public awareness of the sizable savings that energy efficiency offers to homeowners.
• Renewable Energy Partnership Program|
  EPA is directed to develop a new renewable energy partnership program to help companies and consumers more easily buy renewable energy, and companies receive recognition for their contributions to the environment.
• New Source Review (NSR)
  EPA shall conduct a 90-day study, in consultation with the Department of Energy (DOE) and other agencies, of the impact of NSR regulations on investment in new utility and refinery generation capacity, energy efficiency, and environmental protection.
• Streamlining of Refinery Permitting
  EPA and DOE are directed to work together to ensure that America has adequate refining capacity by streamlining the permitting process where possible, adopting comprehensive regulations, and considering the rules' cumulative impacts and benefits, without compromising environmental protection.
• Boutique Fuels
  EPA is directed to study opportunities, in consultation with DOE and other agencies, to maintain or improve the environmental benefits of state and local "boutique" fuels program while exploring ways to increase the flexibility of the fuels distribution infrastructure, improve fungibility, and provide added gasoline market liquidity.
• Truck Idling
  EPA and the Department of Transportation (DOT) are directed to work with the trucking industry to establish a program to reduce emissions and fuel consumption from long-haul trucks at truck stops by implementing alternatives to idling, such as electrification and auxiliary power units at truck stops along interstate highways.
• Nuclear Energy
  To support nuclear energy as a major component of our national energy policy, the best science should be used to provide a deep geologic repository for nuclear waste and EPA and DOE are directed to work together to assess the potential of nuclear energy to improve air quality.
