ACTION: Request for Information. AGENCY: The U.S. Department of Energy (‘‘DOE’’ or the ‘‘Department’’) is currently evaluating energy efficiency test procedures for luminaires (also referred to herein as lighting systems) and collecting information for the labeling of such products. DOE recognizes that well-designed test procedures are important to produce reliable, repeatable, and consistent test results and that labeling assists informed consumer choice. The existing luminaire test procedures DOE is evaluating include those already established by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) and ENERGY STAR, which include by reference numerous test procedures established by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA), the International Commission on Illumination (Commission Internationale de l’Eclairage (CIE)), and the Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA). To inform interested parties, facilitate its consideration of appropriate test procedures, and collect information on labeling, DOE seeks comment and requests information related to test procedures and labels for lighting systems based on industry-standard procedures and practices for luminaires. In particular, DOE is interested in if and how test procedures and labels may include controls for powering the luminaire on or off depending on time of day, daylight or occupancy sensor readings and other factors.

Telephone: (202) 586–7796. E-mail: Elizabeth.Kohl@hq.doe.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Statutory Authority The Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct 1992, Pub. L. 102–486), Section 126, required DOE to support and monitor a national voluntary testing and information program for widely used luminaires that have significant energy savings potential, and to issue a determination as to whether the program developed was consistent with those objectives. The program was required to include specifications for test procedures and labels that will enable purchasers of such luminaires to make more informed decisions about the energy efficiency and costs of alternative products. If DOE determines that a program of voluntary national testing and information for luminaires consistent with those objectives has not been developed, EPAct 1992 directs DOE to develop test procedures for luminaires. EPAct 1992 also provides for labels for these products. (42 U.S.C. 6292 note) The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct 2005, Pub. L. 109–58) and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 established Federal efficiency standards for certain classes of luminaires—torchieres, ceiling fan light kits, exit signs, traffic signals, and metal halide lamp fixtures—but currently there are no DOE-approved test procedures for most widely-used classes of luminaires. There are also no labeling requirements for these products. II. Background In April 1992, the National Lighting Collaborative (NLC or Collaborative) initiated development of a testing and information program as described under EPAct 1992. The Collaborative, administered by NEMA, included representatives from environmental organizations, State governments, the lighting industry, research entities, and utilities.1 In 1995, the NLC issued a 1 In 1999, membership included the following organizations: Environmental groups were represented by the Alliance to Save Energy, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy, and the Natural Resources Defense Council. State and Federal government representatives included the California Energy Commission, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, DOE, and the US Environmental Protection Agency. Lighting and related industry organizations were represented by the American Lighting Association, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning E:\FR\FM\04AUN1.SGM 04AUN1
