Summary

The Secretary must cancel approval of any prototype residential energy-efficiency plan and stop its federal funding after consulting the Federal Trade Commission and giving notice and a chance for a hearing. This must happen if the plan causes unfair business practices, harms competition in the area named in the plan’s contract, or gives one supplier or contractor an unreasonably large share of the contracts.
