This is a non-notable bill. It was proposed on February 13, 2013 and I can find no evidence that the bill was even passed. SL93 (talk) 01:47, 31 March 2017 (UTC)
Merge to Energy Policy Act of 2005 per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC.In general, I think it is best to discuss amendments to statutes within the primary article for that statute. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 21:13, 2 April 2017 (UTC)- I'm changing my vote to delete per TJRC's analysis below. -- Notecardforfree (talk) 06:03, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

- Comment; I take no position on the bill's notability, but the article says it passed. The lede includes "(H.R. 767; Pub. L. 113–69 (text) (PDF))"; the cite to "Pub. L. 113–69 (text) (PDF)" means it became Public Law no. 113-69 (i.e., 113th Congress, 69th public law). And the congress.gov page at H.R. 767 says "Latest Action: 12/26/2013 Became Public Law No: 113-69."
- That being said, Congress enacts a lot of laws; this is just number 69 in a series of 295 statutes enacted by the 113th Congress. Not all enacted laws are WikiWorthy; the overwhelming majority of them are not. All of them get at least some media coverage, so it's easy to be misled into a sense of notability, just from searching. I have no particular position of whether this particular bill and statute is notable. TJRC (talk) 23:29, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. Okay, I just took a look at the bill, and it's remarkably trivial. All it does is amend the Energy Policy Act of 2005 to replace the names of the field offices taking part in a pilot with more complete versions of the field office's names: "Rawlins, Wyoming" becomes "Rawlins Field Office, Wyoming"; "Buffalo, Wyoming" becomes "High Plains District Office, Wyoming"; and so forth. It also apparently changed one field office, from Miles City, Montana to the Montana/Dakotas State Office, Montana (which is in Billings, a much larger city), apparently because it was a busier field office. That's it; that's the entire content of the bill and statute. See the text at Pub. L. 113–69 (text) (PDF) and compare with the § 365(d) it replaced in Pub. L. 109–58 (text) (PDF), if you want to check. It's not even worth rolling up into Energy Policy Act of 2005.
