Each such target— (1) shall be based upon the best available information, (2) shall be established at the level which represents the maximum feasible improvement in energy efficiency which such industry can achieve by January 1, 1980, and (3) shall be published in the Federal Register, together with a statement of the basis and justification for each such target. (d) Any target established under subsection (a) or (c) may be modified at any time if the Administrator— (1) determines that such target cannot reasonably be attained, or could reasonably be made more stringent, and (2) publishes such determination in the Federal Register, together with a statement of the basis and justification for such modification.

SEC. 375. (a) The chief executive officer (or individual designated by such officer) of each corporation which is identified by the Administrator pursuant to section 373, and which is in an industry for which an industrial energy efficiency improvement target has been set under section 374(a), shall report to the Administrator not later than January 1, 1977, and annually thereafter, on the progress which such corporation has made in improving its energy efficiency. Such report shall contain such information as the Administrator determines is necessary to measure progress toward meeting the energy efficiency improvement target set for the industry of which such corporation is a part, except that the Administrator shall not require such report if such corporation is in an industry which has an adequate voluntary reporting program (as defined by section 376(g)). (b) The Administrator shall prepare, publish, and make available, for use in complying with the reporting requirements under subsection (a), a simple form which shall be designed in such a way as to avoid imposing an undue burden on any corporation which is required to submit reports under subsection (a). (c) The Administrator shall prepare and submit to the Congress and to the President, and shall cause to be published, an annual report on the industrial energy efficiency program established under section 372. Each such report shall include— (1) a summary of the progress made toward the achievement of the industrial energy efficiency improvement targets set by the Administrator; and (2) a summary of the progress made toward meeting such industrial energy efficiency improvement targets since the date of publication of the previous such report, if any.
