within their commands (e.g. (v), (s), FDCCs, CEUs, facilities engineers, etc.) that are
great assets in energy management. MLCs and HQ units, with support and
assistance of Area and District Commands, are directed to work within the structure
of the Coast Guard's energy program to make energy efficiency and sound energy
management a reality at all field and operational units. MLC's and HQ unit's will
closely work with applicable Headquarters energy managers to meet necessary
requirements of the Coast Guard's program. MLC and HQ units shall be the primary
organizational element in the initiation and oversight of field energy management.

Administrative Target Units (ATUs). District/MLC/HQ Units which are
Administrative Target Units (ATUs) having budget or financial officers (those that
receive IBUDS funding) continue to have responsibility for the management,
budgeting, and distribution of annual energy funds and appropriate distribution of
AFC-30 FEEF dollars to the appropriate accounts. Quarterly submission of energy
reports verifying/estimating annual energy cost/needs are required to be
electronically submitted on a standard template format 30 days after the close of each
quarter. ATUs should note any significant external drivers (e.g. very adverse
weather seasons, mandated additional operations without associated energy funding,
etc.) beyond unit control in quarterly reports, quantified to as great an extent
possible. Every effort will be made to neutralize or account for significant
uncontrollable variables. Quarterly data on four standard categories of use will be
collected/estimated. These are Cutter & Boat fu&l, Aircraft fuel, Electricity, and
Other (included in this category is natural gas, propane, home heating oil, purchased
steam, auto fuel, coal, wood, etc.). Hydraulic fluid and lubricating oil (unless directly
used in propulsion e.g. 2 cycle engines) shall NOT be included or categorized as an
energy product.
7.
ENERGY MANAGEMENT POLICY. MLCs/HQ units with support of applicable Area and
District Commands shall develop local energy program policy and guidance which promotes
greater energy awareness among all Coast Guard personnel and emphasize user controlled
reductions. This goal will be achieved with a conscious regard to ensuring an improved
condition, a higher quality, or a better standard is achieved by the retrofit of energy projects.
This will ensure the maintenance of comfortable and healthy working conditions and
achievement of an acceptable indoor air quality standard. Program goals will focus on
achievement of real (measurable) rather than statistical efficiencies. The Commandant's goals of
mission readiness, quality of life, and safety shall not to be compromised to achieve energy
efficiencies, however these should not be viewed as incompatible goals. MLCs/HQ units energy
programs along with applicable Area/District operational procedures shall provide specific
implementation guidance for field energy management and will include among other items
policy which is consistent with the following.
a.
Boat, Cutter, Aircraft Operations. Energy efficient measures relating to asset utilization
shall be standardized, promulgated and routinely practiced. It is recognized that a more
