timetable for action. The Agenda also
SUMMARY:
includes a list of regulatory actions
completed since publication of the last
Agenda. The Department of Energy’s
portion of the Agenda includes
regulatory actions called for by statute,
including amendments contained in the
Energy Independence and Security Act
of 2007 (EISA) and the American Energy
Manufacturing Technical Corrections
Act (AEMTCA), and programmatic
needs of DOE offices.
The internet is the basic means for
disseminating the Agenda and
providing users the ability to obtain
information from the Agenda database.
DOE’s entire Fall 2020 Regulatory
Agenda can be accessed online by going
to www.reginfo.gov.
Publication in the Federal Register is
mandated by the Regulatory Flexibility
Act (5 U.S.C. 602) only for Agenda
entries that require either a regulatory
flexibility analysis or periodic review
under section 610 of that Act. The Plan
appears in both the online Agenda and
the Federal Register and includes the
most important of DOE’s significant
regulatory actions and a Statement of
Regulatory and Deregulatory Priorities.
This document of the Department of
Energy was signed on December 18,
2020, by William S. Cooper, General
Counsel. That document with the
original signature and date is
maintained by the Department of
Energy. For administrative purposes
only, and in compliance with
requirements of the Office of the Federal
Register, the Department of Energy has
delegated authority to the undersigned

by Energy Independence and Security
Act of 2007 (EISA), requires the
Secretary to determine whether
updating the statutory energy
conservation standards for residential
conventional cooking products would
yield a significant savings in energy use
and is technologically feasible and
economically justified. The U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) is
reviewing the current standards to make
such determination.

prescribes energy conservation
standards for various consumer
products and certain commercial and
industrial equipment, including
residential furnaces. EPCA also requires
the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to
determine whether more-stringent
amended standards would be
technologically feasible and
economically justified and would save a
significant amount of energy. DOE is
considering amendments to its energy
conservation standards for residential
non-weatherized gas furnaces and
mobile home gas furnaces in partial
fulfillment of a court-ordered remand of
DOE’s 2011 rulemaking for these
products.

Abstract: Once completed, this
rulemaking will fulfill the U.S.
Department of Energy’s (DOE) statutory
obligation under the Energy Policy and
Conservation Act, as amended, (EPCA)
to either propose amended energy
conservation standards for commercial
water heaters and hot water supply
boilers, or determine that the existing
standards do not need to be amended.
(Unfired hot water storage tanks and
commercial heat pump water heaters are
being considered in a separate
rulemaking.) DOE must determine
whether national standards more
stringent than those that are currently in
place would result in a significant
additional amount of energy savings and
whether such amended national
standards would be technologically
feasible and economically justified.
