#bjad,mr4 ,pryor 7for himself and ,mr4  
,enzi7 introduced the following bill2   
which was read twice and referred to the
 ,committee on ,energy and ,natural     
,resources  ,a ,,bill  ,to require the  
,secretary of ,energy to conduct a motor
 and motor-driven systems market        
assessment and public awareness program1
 and for other purposes4  #a4 ,short    
title ,this ,act may be cited as the    
,motor ,systems ,market ,awareness ,act 
of #bjad4  #b4 ,findings ,congress finds
 that-- 7#a7 motors and motor-driven    
systems account for a significant       
quantity of the electricity used in the 
,united ,states2  7#b7 motor electrical 
energy use is determined by the         
efficiency of the motor and the design  
of the motor-driven system in which the 
motor and the drive operate2  7#c7      
,federal ,government research on        
commercial and industrial motors and    

motor-driven system use and efficiency  
is outdated2  7#d7 the ,bureau of the   
,census has discontinued collection of  
data on motor and generator importation1

 the last ,department of ,energy motor  
market assessment was conducted in      
#bjjb2  7#f7 motor and motor-driven     
systems have changed dramatically during
 the #ab-year period ending on the date 
of enactment of this ,act2 and  7#g7 a  
new motor and motor-driven system market
 assessment will help ,united ,states   
manufacturers better understand the     
commercial marketplace and become more  
globally competitive4  #c4 ,definitions
