(c) the president shall be authorized to adopt regulations establishing procedures for manufacturers of such product to certify that such product meets such efficiency standard, if the president determines that such manufacturer's certifications should be required;
(d) the president shall be authorized to adopt regulations amending such efficiency standard from time to time, including regulations that repeal such efficiency standard, or increase the stringency of such efficiency standard; and
