Search 42 U.S.C. § 9127 : US Code - Section 9127: Periodic review and revision of regulations

The Administrator and the Secretary of the department in which
the Coast Guard is operating shall periodically, at intervals of
not more than every 3 years, and in consultation with the Secretary
of Energy, review any regulations promulgated pursuant to the
provisions of this subchapter to determine the status and impact of
such regulations on the continued development, evolution, and
commercialization of ocean thermal energy conversion technology.
The results of each such review shall be included in the next
annual report required by section 9165 (!1) of this title. The
Administrator and such Secretary are authorized and directed to
promulgate any revisions to the then effective regulations as are
deemed necessary and appropriate based on such review, to ensure
that any regulations promulgated pursuant to the provisions of this
subchapter do not impede such development, evolution, and
commercialization of such technology. Additionally, the Secretary
of Energy is authorized to propose, based on such review, such
revisions for the same purpose. The Administrator or such
Secretary, as appropriate, shall have exclusive jurisdiction with
respect to any such proposal by the Secretary of Energy and,
pursuant to applicable procedures, shall consider and take final
action on any such proposal in an expeditious manner. Such
consideration shall include at least one informal hearing pursuant
to the procedures in section 553 of title 5.
