Department of Energy April 5, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

This document contains a technical correction to the final rule regarding the energy conservation standards for small electric motors, which was published on March 9, 2010. In that final rule, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) adopted regulations to establish energy conservation standards for small electric motors. Due to a drafting error, an incorrect compliance date for this equipment was inadvertently inserted into the regulation. This correction notice

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) will hold a public meeting to discuss and receive comments on: The equipment classes that DOE plans to analyze for establishing energy conservation standards for walk-in coolers and walk-in freezers; the analytical framework, models, and tools that DOE is using to evaluate standards for this equipment; the results of preliminary analyses performed by DOE for this equipment; and the potential energy conservation standard levels derived from these analyses that DOE could consider for this equipment. In addition, DOE encourages written comments on these subjects. To inform interested parties and facilitate this process, DOE has prepared an agenda, a preliminary technical support document (preliminary TSD), and briefing materials, which are available at: https:// www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/appliancestandards/commercial/ wicf.html.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, has initiated through the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) the mandatory Compliance Certification information collection request for certain 1 through 200 horsepower electric motors covered under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended, Public Law 94-163, codified at, 42 U.S.C. 6291 et seq. Under EPCA, a manufacturer or private labeler must certify its compliance with energy efficiency standards for certain commercial and industrial electric motors. 42 U.S.C. 6316(c) and 10 CFR 431.36.
