    § 16-106. Administration of article. 1. The secretary, in consultation
  with the president, shall have and be entitled to exercise the following
  powers and duties:
    (a)  To  establish  energy  efficiency  performance  standards for the
  products listed in subdivision one of section 16-104  of  this  article,
  including but not limited to, establishing energy efficiency performance
  standards  for  power  supplies  in  the active mode and no-load mode or
  other  such  products  while   in   the   active   mode   and   in   the
  standby-passive-mode.
    (b)  To promulgate regulations to achieve the purposes of this article
  provided however that no energy efficiency  performance  standard  shall
  become  effective  for a product less than one hundred eighty days after
  it shall become final,  provided,  however,  that  no  standard  adopted
  pursuant  to  this  article  shall  go into effect if federal government
  energy efficiency performance standards regarding such  product  preempt
  state  standards  unless  preemption has been waived pursuant to federal
  law;
    (c) To administer and enforce the provisions of this article  and  any
  rule  or  regulation  promulgated  thereunder  or  order issued pursuant
  thereto;
    (d) To  order,  pursuant  to  section  16-104  of  this  article,  the
  immediate  cessation of any distribution, sale or offer for sale, import
  or installation of any product for which the secretary, in  consultation
  with  the  president,  determines that the certification of such product
  listed in subdivision one of section 16-104 of this article was achieved
  in violation of section 16-108 of this article;
    (e) To conduct investigations, test, and obtain data with  respect  to
  research  experiments and demonstrations, and to collect and disseminate
  information regarding the purposes  to  be  achieved  pursuant  to  this
  article;
    (f)  To  accept grants or funds for purposes of administration of this
  article;
    (g) To impose a fine and/or impose injunctive relief for any violation
  of this article after notice and an opportunity to be heard;
    (h) The secretary and the president shall consult with the appropriate
  federal agencies, including, but not limited to, the federal  department
  of  energy,  industry and other potentially affected parties in carrying
  out the provisions of this article.
    2. (a) On or before June thirtieth, two thousand six,  the  secretary,
  in   consultation   with  the  president,  shall  adopt  regulations  in
  accordance with the provisions of this article establishing: (i)  energy
  efficiency performance standards for new products of the types set forth
  in  paragraphs  (a)  through (n) of subdivision one of section 16-104 of
  this article, with the exception of  such  paragraph  (g)  (incandescent
  reflector  lamps);  (ii) procedures for testing the energy efficiency of
  the products covered by paragraphs (a) through (n) of subdivision one of
  section 16-104 of this article; (iii) procedures  for  manufacturers  to
  certify  that  products  covered  under  this  article  meet  the energy
  efficiency standards to be promulgated under this article; and (iv) such
  further matters as are necessary to insure the proper implementation and
  enforcement  of  the  provisions  of  this  article.  With  respect   to
  incandescent  reflector  lamps, included in paragraph (g) of subdivision
  one of section 16-104 of this article, the  secretary,  in  consultation
  with the president, shall conduct a study to determine whether an energy
  efficiency  performance standard for such product should be established,
  taking  into  account  factors  including  the   potential   impact   on
  electricity  usage,  product availability and consumer and environmental
  benefits. If it is determined based on this study that such  a  standard
  would  reduce  energy use and would not be preempted by the federal law,
  the  secretary,  in  consultation  with  the  president,   shall   adopt
  regulations   in   accordance   with  the  provisions  of  this  article
  establishing  energy performance standards for such product on or before
  January first, two thousand eight.
    (b) With respect to the  products  defined  in  subdivision  seven  of
  section  16-102  of  this  article  (very  large  commercial package air
  conditioning and heating equipment), subdivision nine of section  16-102
  of  this  article (commercial refrigerators, freezers and refrigerator -
  freezers), subdivision twenty-three of section 16-102  of  this  article
  (metal  halide lamp fixtures) and subdivision three of section 16-102 of
  this article (automatic commercial ice-cube makers), the secretary shall
