The Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA; Pub. L. No. 110-140), signed into law on
December 19, 2007, created the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG)
Program. The Program as established by EISA is for federal grants to units of local
government, Indian tribes, and states to reduce energy use and fossil fuel emissions, and for
improvements in energy efficiency. The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
(EERE) of the US Department of Energy will likely administer the EECBG Program. Title V,
Subtitle E of EISA describes the purpose for creating the EECBG Program: (b)
