SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section
323 of the Energy Policy and
Conservation Act (Act) (42 U.S.C. 6291–
6309) requires that DOE prescribe test
procedures for the determination of the
estimated annual operating costs or
other measures of energy consumption
for certain consumer products specified
in the Act. (42 U.S.C. 6293) These test
procedures are found in Title 10 of the
PO 00000
Frm 00039
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
12209
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part
430, subpart B.
Section 323(b) of the Act requires that
the estimated annual operating costs of
a covered product be calculated from
measurements of energy use in a
representative average use cycle or
period of use and from representative
average unit costs of the energy needed
to operate such product during such
cycle. (42 U.S.C. 6293(b)) The section
further requires that DOE provide
information to manufacturers regarding
the representative average unit costs of
energy. (42 U.S.C. 6293(b)(4)) This cost
information should be used by
manufacturers to meet their obligations
under section 323(c) of the Act. Most
notably, these costs are used to comply
with Federal Trade Commission (FTC)
requirements for labeling.
Manufacturers are required to use the
revised DOE representative average unit
costs when the FTC publishes new
ranges of comparability for specific
covered products, 16 CFR part 305.
Interested parties can also find
information covering the FTC labeling
requirements at https://www.ftc.gov/
appliances.
The Department last published
representative average unit costs of
residential energy for use in the Energy
Conservation Program for Consumer
Products Other Than Automobiles on
January 27, 2004 (69 FR 3907). Effective
April 11, 2005, the cost figures
published on January 27, 2004, will be
superseded by the cost figures set forth
in this notice.
The Department’s Energy Information
Administration (EIA) has developed the
2004 representative average unit aftertax costs found in this notice. The
representative average unit after-tax
costs for electricity, natural gas, No. 2
heating oil, and propane are based on
simulations used to produce the October
2004, EIA Short-Term Energy Outlook,
and reflect the mid-price scenario. The
representative average unit after-tax
costs for kerosene are derived from their
prices relative to that of heating oil,
based on 1999–2003 averages for these
two fuels. The source for these price
data is the October 2004, Monthly
Energy Review DOE/EIA–0035(2004/10).
The Short-Term Energy Outlook and the
Monthly Energy Review are available at
the National Energy Information Center,
Forrestal Building, Room 1F–048, 1000
Independence Avenue, SW.,
Washington, DC 20585, (202) 586–8800.
These publications can also be found on
the EIA website at https://
www.eia.doe.gov.
The 2005 representative average unit
costs under section 323(b)(4) of the Act
are set forth in Table 1, and will become
