SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In
December 2014, the existing
intermediaries under the pilot were
informed that the pilot would end with
the effective date of the final rule to
create a certified loan application
packaging process. While this expiration
provision for the pilot was known, the
actual date came sooner than expected.
To allow the existing intermediaries
under the pilot sufficient time to
process loan application packages in
their queue and to prepare for the
implementation of the final rule, the
effective date for the final rule will be
deferred to October 1, 2015.

Jkt 235001
On December 29, 2014, the
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) issued
a notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR)
to clarify the test procedures for
fluorescent lamp ballasts. That proposed
rulemaking serves as the basis for the
final rule. DOE is issuing a final rule to
reorganize, reformat, correct, and clarify
the scope of the energy conservation
standards for fluorescent lamp ballasts.
In addition, DOE is removing the
outdated test procedure at Appendix Q
and redesignating the current test
procedure at Appendix Q1 as Appendix
Q. DOE is also clarifying the test
procedure setup at redesignated
Appendix Q. Finally, DOE is revising
the laboratory accreditation language
and is providing clarification on the
process for evaluating compliance with
standards.
DATES: The effective date of this rule is
July 6, 2015. Representations must be
based on testing in accordance with the
final rule starting December 2, 2015.
The incorporation of reference of
certain publications listed in this rule
was approved by the Director of the
Federal Register on March 23, 2009.
