The term Secretary means the Secretary of Energy. In accordance with IEEE 1366, the term sustained interruption means an interruption in power service lasting more than 5 minutes. In accordance with IEEE 1366, the term System Average Interruption Duration Index or SAIDI means the average number of minutes of sustained interruption per customer per year. In accordance with IEEE 1366, the term System Average Interruption Frequency Index or SAIFI means the average number of sustained interruptions per customer per year.
The Secretary shall define the terms disadvantaged community , low-income community , and rural area for purposes of this Act. In carrying out paragraph (1), the Secretary shall take into consideration, as applicable, the following: The definition of the term disadvantaged community in each of— section 6001 of the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009 ( 16 U.S.C. 1015 ); and section 50121(d) of Public Law 117–169 (commonly known as the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 ) ( 42 U.S.C. 18795(d) ).
