Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedures for Small Electric Motors
The Department of Energy (DOE) is prescribing test procedures for measuring the energy efficiency of single-phase and polyphase small electric motors. The final rule incorporates by reference industry test procedures already in use when measuring the energy efficiency of these types of motors. Additionally, the final rule clarifies definitions applying to small electric motors and identifies issues that will be
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request
The EIA has submitted the form OE-781R, ``Monthly Electricity Imports and Exports Report'' to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and comment of a proposed three-year extension under section 3507(h)(1) of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104- 13) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
Environmental Management Site-Specific Advisory Board, Savannah River Site
This notice announces a meeting of the Environmental Management Site-Specific Advisory Board (EM SSAB), Savannah River Site. The Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. No. 92-463, 86 Stat. 770) requires that public notice of this meeting be announced in the Federal Register.
Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedures for General Service Fluorescent Lamps, Incandescent Reflector Lamps, and General Service Incandescent Lamps
The Department of Energy (DOE) is amending its test procedures for certain fluorescent and incandescent lamps, which manufacturers are required to use to certify compliance with energy conservation standards mandated under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA). Specifically, these amendments update citations and references to the industry standards currently referenced in DOE's test procedures, and make several technical modifications. The amendments also provide test methods for some general service fluorescent lamps, based on new product designs, which are subject to existing energy conservation standards but do not currently have test procedures in place. Test procedures for additional general service fluorescent lamps to which the energy conservation standards rulemaking extends coverage will be adopted as part of the upcoming energy conservation standards final rule. Finally, because the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007) adopted energy conservation standards for certain general service incandescent lamps, DOE is amending its test procedures for incandescent lamps to provide appropriate methods to test these lamps.
Basic Energy Sciences Advisory Committee
This notice announces a meeting of the Basic Energy Sciences Advisory Committee (BESAC). Federal Advisory Committee Act (Pub. L. 92- 463, 86 Stat. 770) requires that public notice of these meetings be announced in the Federal Register.
Notice of Intent To Prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the Long-Term Management and Storage of Elemental Mercury
As required by the Mercury Export Ban Act of 2008 (Pub. L. 110-414), hereafter referred to as the Act, the Department of Energy (DOE or the Department) plans to designate a facility or facilities for the long-term management and storage of elemental mercury generated within the United States. To this end, the Department intends to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 regulations of the President's Council on Environmental Quality (40 CFR parts 1500-1508) and DOE's implementing procedures (10 CFR part 1021). This EIS will evaluate alternatives for such a facility or facilities in order to have the requisite capability operational by January 1, 2013, as stipulated in the Act. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is a cooperating agency for this EIS.
Finding of No Significant Impact: Disposition of DOE Excess Depleted Uranium, Natural Uranium, and Low-Enriched Uranium
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE, the Department) has completed an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Disposition of DOE Excess Depleted Uranium (DU), Natural Uranium (NU), and Low-Enriched Uranium (LEU) (DOE/EA-1607). Based on the analysis in the EA, the Department has determined that the proposed action, DOE dispositioning its excess uranium inventory using one or a combination of two methods(1) enrichment to either NU or LEU product and subsequent storage or sale of the resultant NU or LEU product (Enrichment Alternative), and (2) direct sale to appropriately licensed entities (Direct Sale Alternative)does not constitute a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment within the context of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA). Therefore, the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not required and the Department is issuing this Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI).
