ACTION: Notice of order. AGENCY: After receiving and reviewing public comments, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) issues this Order finalizing DOE’s determination that the 2016 edition of the ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1: Energy Standard for Buildings, Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings improves overall energy efficiency in buildings subject to the code compared to the 2013 edition of Standard 90.1. DATES: This Order applies as of February 27, 2018. ADDRESSES: A copy of the final analysis is available at https:// www.energycodes.gov/development/ determinations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background Title III of the Energy Conservation and Production Act, as amended (ECPA), establishes requirements for building energy conservation standards, administered by the DOE Building Energy Codes Program. (42 U.S.C. 6831 et seq.) Section 304(b), of ECPA, as amended, provides that whenever the ANSI/ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1– 1989 (Standard 90.1–1989 or 1989 edition), or any successor to that code, is revised, the Secretary of Energy (Secretary) must make a determination, not later than 12 months after such revision, whether the revised code would improve energy efficiency in commercial buildings required to meet the standard, and must publish notice of such determination in the Federal Register. (42 U.S.C. 6833(b)(2)(A)) If the Secretary makes an affirmative determination, within two years of the publication of the determination, each State is required to certify that it has reviewed and updated the provisions of its commercial building code regarding energy efficiency with respect to the revised or successor code and include in its certification a demonstration that the provisions of its commercial building code, regarding energy efficiency, meet or exceed the revised Standard. (42 U.S.C. 6833(b)(2)(B)(i)) Standard 90.1–2016, the most recent edition, was published by ASHRAE in October 2016, triggering the statutorilyrequired DOE review process. The Standard is developed under ANSIapproved consensus procedures, and is under continuous maintenance by an ASHRAE Standing Standard Project Committee (commonly referenced as SSPC 90.1). ASHRAE has an established program for regular publication of addenda, or revisions, including procedures for timely, documented, consensus action on requested changes to the Standard. More information on the consensus process and ANSI/ ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1–2016 is available at: https://www.ashrae.org/ resources-publications/bookstore/ standard-90-1. To meet the statutory requirement, DOE conducted a preliminary analysis to quantify the expected energy savings associated with Standard 90.1–2016 relative to the previous 2013 version. The preliminary analysis is available at: https://www.regulations.gov/ document?D=EERE-2014-BT-DET-00090001. E:\FR\FM\27FEN1.SGM 27FEN1
