Department of Energy February 15, 2005 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

DOE announces the availability of the ``Joint Stakeholders Comments on Standards for Commercial Package Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps'' (hereafter ``Joint Stakeholders Comments'') and an opportunity for public comment. DOE received the Joint Stakeholders Comments from a group of nineteen stakeholders in response to DOE's advance notice of proposed rulemaking (ANOPR) concerning standards for commercial unitary air conditioners and heat pumps. This notice informs the public of the recommended minimum energy efficiency standards presented in the Joint Stakeholders Comments. To help DOE determine the appropriate next step in this rulemaking, DOE invites interested members of the public who did not join in the Joint Stakeholders Comments to submit any comments they may have on the Joint Stakeholders Comments, including the recommendation for expediting the proceedings by adopting these recommended efficiency standards through a direct final rule.
