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.

Abstract: The Energy Policy and
Conservation Act, as amended, (EPCA)
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 pursuant to a
court-ordered remand of DOE’s 2011
rulemaking for these products.

259. Test Procedures for Dehumidifying
Direct-Expansion Dedicated Outdoor
Air Systems
Legal Authority: 42 U.S.C. 6314(a)(4)
Abstract: Consistent with the
requirements under the Energy Policy
and Conservation Act (EPCA), as
amended, the U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) is seeking to establish a
Federal test procedure for
dehumidifying direct-expansion
dedicated outdoor air systems (DDX–
DOASes) under 10 CFR 431.96. For
covered equipment addressed in the
American Society of Heating,
Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning
Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 90.1, the
DOE test procedure must be based upon

5224
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 20 / Monday, January 31, 2022 / UA: Reg Flex Agenda
khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with PROPOSALS4
the generally accepted industry testing
procedure referenced in that industry
consensus standard (42 U.S.C.
6314(a)(4)(A)). The statute further
requires that each time the referenced
industry test procedure is updated, DOE
must amend the Federal test procedure
to be consistent with the amended
industry test procedure, unless there is
clear and convincing evidence that the
update would not be representative of
an average use cycle or would be
unduly burdensome to conduct (42
U.S.C. 6314(a)(4)(B)). Independent of
that test procedure review obligation,
EPCA also includes a 7-year-lookback
review provision for covered
commercial and industrial equipment
that requires DOE to conduct an
evaluation of each class of covered
equipment to determine whether
amended test procedures would more

Jkt 256001
accurately or fully comply with the
requirements that the Federal test
procedure be representative of an
average use cycle and not be unduly
burdensome to conduct (42 U.S.C.
6314(a)(1)). In this test procedure
rulemaking for DDX–DOASes, DOE is
acting under its authority at 42 U.S.C.
6314(a)(4), and accordingly, it will
propose and adopt a new Federal test
procedure for this equipment. (The
NOPR for this rule was mistakenly
published in the Federal Register as
RIN 1904–AD93 on July 7, 2021).
