Department of Energy September 28, 2010 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is initiating the rulemaking to amend the energy conservation standards for certain commercial and industrial electric motors under section 342(b) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA). DOE will hold an informal public meeting to discuss and receive comments on its planned analytical approach and the issues it will address during this rulemaking. DOE welcomes written comments from the public on any subject within the scope of this rulemaking. To inform interested parties and to facilitate this process, DOE has prepared a framework document that details the analytical approach that DOE will use and identifies several issues on which DOE is particularly interested in receiving comment. A copy of the framework document is available at: https://www1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/appliancestandards/comm ercial/ electricmotors.html. For information on obtaining a copy of the framework document, see the supplementary information section.
