Procedures for Submitting to the Department of Energy Trade Secrets and Commercial or Financial Information That Is Privileged or Confidential
DOE issues procedures to standardize across its various programs procedures for the submission and protection of trade secrets and commercial or financial information that is privileged or confidential, where such information is submitted by applicants for various forms of DOE assistance (including financial assistance such as grants, cooperative agreements, and technology investment agreements, as well as loans and loan guarantees). The procedures, established across DOE programs, are modeled after existing procedures DOE uses to process loan applications submitted to DOE's Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Incentive Program.
Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Residential Clothes Dryers and Room Air Conditioners
In a direct final rule published on April 21, 2011, DOE adopted amended energy conservation standards for residential clothes dryers and room air conditioners. As required by EPCA, DOE also published simultaneously a notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) that proposed identical energy efficiency standards. The standards set forth in the direct final rule and NOPR were consistent with the consensus agreement that served as the basis for those rulemaking actions. The consensus agreement also provided specific compliance dates for both productsJune 1, 2014 for room air conditioners and January 1, 2015 for clothes dryers. In the direct final rule and NOPR, however, DOE provided for a compliance date 3 years after the date of publication in the Federal Register, or April 21, 2014. As such, the compliance date of the direct final rule and NOPR did not correspond with the consensus agreement. DOE now proposes to amend the compliance dates set forth in the direct final rule and corresponding NOPR to be consistent with the compliance dates set out in the consensus agreement.
