This document further delays the effective date of a recently published final rule amending the test procedures for central air conditioners and heat pumps.
Pursuant to the Congressional Review Act, this document withdraws a disapproved final rule that was published in the Federal Register on January 21, 2025. The final rule would have established amended energy conservation standards for commercial refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerator-freezers.
DOE is proposing to withdraw its prior determination that portable air conditioners ("portable ACs") qualify as covered products under Part A of Title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended ("EPCA").
DOE is proposing to rescind the amended design requirements for conventional ovens. This will return the design requirements for conventional ovens to the standards for kitchen ranges and ovens set by Congress: Gas kitchen ranges and ovens having an electrical supply cord shall not be equipped with a constant burning pilot for products manufactured on or after January 1, 1990.
DOE is proposing to repeal the amended water conservation standards for commercial clothes washers. This will return the standards for commercial clothes washers to the statutory baseline.
DOE is proposing to rescind the efficiency standards for battery chargers. This will effectively remove battery charges from the Energy Conservation Program.
DOE is proposing to withdraw its prior determination that portable air cleaners qualify as covered products under Part A of Title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended ("EPCA").
DOE is proposing to rescind the amended design requirements for conventional cooking tops. This will return the design requirements for conventional cooking tops to the standards for kitchen ranges and ovens set by Congress: Gas kitchen ranges and ovens having an electrical supply cord shall not be equipped with a constant burning pilot for products manufactured on or after January 1, 1990.
The Department of Energy ("DOE" or "the Department") is proposing to rescind its regulations establishing a small electric motor nationally recognized certification and testing laboratory accreditation program. The Department seeks comments on any reason to rescind or not rescind these regulations.
DOE is proposing to rescind the energy conservation standards for microwave ovens. The rescission will eliminate the efficiency requirements for microwave ovens.
DOE is proposing to rescind its existing regulations regarding the energy conservation standards for consumer external power supplies adopted under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA).
DOE is proposing to withdraw its prior determination that miscellaneous refrigeration products qualify as covered products under Part A of Title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended ("EPCA").
The Department of Energy (DOE or the Department) is considering whether to revise its existing regulations regarding the energy conservation standards for consumer furnace fans adopted under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA). DOE is initiating this effort through this request for information (RFI) to invite public input on appropriate standard levels that are technologically feasible, economically justified, and result in significant conservation of energy.
DOE is proposing to withdraw its prior determination that compressors qualify as covered equipment under Part A-1 of Title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended ("EPCA").
DOE is proposing to rescind the efficiency standards for compact residential clothes washers. If adopted, this will eliminate the efficiency standards for compact residential clothes washers completely, leaving the standards for standard size residential clothes washers.
DOE is proposing to rescind the amended water use standards for residential clothes washers. If finalized, this will return the water use requirement for clothes washers to the statutory water factor of not more than 9.5.
DOE is proposing to rescind the amended water use standards for automatic commercial ice makers (ACIMs). This will return the water use standards for ACIMs to the statutory baseline.
DOE is proposing to amend existing provisions regarding authorization to transmit electric energy to a foreign country.
The Department of Energy (DOE or the Department) is proposing to amend the test procedure for commercial warm air furnaces adopted under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act by rescinding Appendix B, "Uniform Test Method for Measurement of the Energy Efficiency of Commercial Warm Air Furnaces (Thermal Efficiency Two)." Upon further evaluation, the Department has tentatively determined that Appendix B is unduly burdensome to conduct, thereby failing to meet the statutory criteria for adoption of a test procedure. Commercial warm air furnaces will continue to be subject to the testing requirements of Appendix A, "Uniform Test Method for Measurement of the Energy Efficiency of Commercial Warm Air Furnaces (Thermal Efficiency)." DOE invites public input on its proposal.
DOE is proposing to revise its existing regulations regarding the reporting requirements imposed on exempt consumer external power supplies adopted under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended ("EPCA").
The Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to rescind the amended water use standards for faucets. If finalized, this will reset existing water use requirements for faucets to the statutory standard.
DOE is proposing to rescind the amended water use standards for commercial prerinse spray valves ("CPSVs"). This proposal will return the water use standards for CPSVs to the statutory baseline.
The U.S. Department of Energy is proposing to rescind the Renewable Energy Production Incentives program regulations at the end of fiscal year 2026. DOE's proposal is intended to parallel the program's statutory sunset date. The Department seeks comments on any reason to rescind or not rescind these regulations.
DOE is proposing to withdraw its classification of certain fans and blowers as covered equipment under Part A-1 of Title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended.
DOE is proposing to rescind the amended energy conservation standards for all dehumidifiers (excluding whole-home dehumidifiers) hereinafter ("dehumidifiers" or "non-whole-home dehumidifiers"), which constitute a distinct class of dehumidifier for which energy conservation standards are not statutorily prescribed. This will return the energy conservation standards for dehumidifiers manufactured on or after October 1, 2012, to 1.35 liters/kWh for dehumidifiers with a capacity of up to 35.00 pints/day; 1.50 liters/kWh for dehumidifiers with a capacity of 35.01-45.00 pints/day; 1.60 liters/kWh for dehumidifiers with a capacity of 45.01-54.00 pints/day; 1.70 liters/kWh for dehumidifiers with a capacity of 54.01-75.00 pints/day; and 2.5 liters/kWh for dehumidifiers with a capacity of greater than 75.00 pints/day.
This DFR rescinds regulations regarding the applications for a presidential permit authorizing construction, connection, operation, and maintenance of facilities for transmission of electric energy at international boundaries.
This DFR amends existing provisions by amending regulations regarding the collection of information under the Energy Supply and Environmental Coordination Act of 1974.
DOE is withdrawing its prior determination that miscellaneous gas products ("MGPs"), which include decorative hearths and outdoor heaters, qualify as covered products under Part A of Title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended ("EPCA").
The Department of Energy (DOE) is reviewing its recent guidance related to the implementation of newly adopted provisions regarding Clean Energy for New Federal Buildings and Major Renovations of Federal Buildings (CER). While DOE reviews the CER implementation guidance, DOE is staying the compliance date for the newly adopted provisions in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
On September 11, 2024, the Department of Energy ("DOE") received a petition from Dyson Inc. for DOE to revoke the procedures by which manufacturers must measure and represent to consumers the effective room size coverage and integrated energy factor of their air cleaner products. If the provisions are not revoked, Dyson Inc. requested that DOE stay enforcement of these provisions pending a new notice and comment period regarding potential amendments to these provisions. DOE is not revoking or staying enforcement of the test procedure and representations provisions raised in Dyson's petition at this time. Through this notification, DOE is seeking views on whether it should grant the petition and undertake a rulemaking to consider the proposal contained in the petition, as well as any data or information that could be used in DOE's determination whether to grant the petition.
