To obligate Type 2 Designated Energy Management Factories to submit a Periodical Report

To establish a system in which the country can assess the status of energy usage as accurately as possible and to take more adequate measures, the submission of periodical reports on the status of energy use, etc., became an obligation instead of just requiring the recording of usage.
