The Department of Energy (DOE) received a petition from Howe, Anderson & Steyer, P.C., on behalf of First Co., requesting that DOE conduct a rulemaking to amend certification regulations applicable to residential central air conditioners and heat pumps (together ``CAC'') to: collect Energy Efficiency Rating (EER) information from manufacturers through the Compliance, Certification Management System (``CCMS'') as part of annual certification reporting requirements; and publish the information in DOE's Compliance Certification Database (``CCD''). As an interim measure prior to the completion of the rulemaking, they request that DOE collect EER information from manufacturers on an expedited and voluntary basis and publish EER information in the CCD. They contend that voluntary collection and publication of EER information on an interim basis is necessary to prevent harm to manufacturers and consumers.

DOE seeks comment on whether to grant the petition and proceed with a rulemaking on this matter.
