Section
323 of the Energy Policy and
Conservation Act (Act) requires that
DOE prescribe test procedures for the
measurement 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(b)(3)) These test
procedures are found in Title 10 of the
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part
430, subpart B.
Section 323(b)(3) 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)(3)) 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.
DOE last published representative
average unit costs of residential energy
in a Federal Register notice entitled,
‘‘Energy Conservation Program for
Consumer Products: Representative
Average Unit Costs of Energy’’, dated
August 27, 2015, 80 FR 52039.
On April 22, 2016, the cost figures
published in this notice will become
effective and supersede those cost
figures published on August 27, 2015.
The cost figures set forth in this notice
will be effective until further notice.
