Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Residential Clothes Washers
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) published a direct final rule to establish amended energy conservation standards for residential clothes washers in the Federal Register on May 31, 2012. DOE has determined that the adverse comments received in response to the direct final rule were not sufficiently adverse to provide a reasonable basis for withdrawing the direct final rule. Therefore, DOE provides this document confirming adoption of the energy conservation standards established in the direct final rule and announcing the effective date of those standards.
Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Dishwashers
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) published a direct final rule to establish amended energy conservation standards for dishwashers in the Federal Register on May 30, 2012. DOE has determined that the adverse comments received in response to the direct final rule were not sufficiently ``adverse'' as to provide a reasonable basis for withdrawing the direct final rule.

Regional Reliability Standard PRC-006-NPCC-1-Automatic Underfrequency Load Shedding
Under section 215 of the Federal Power Act (FPA),\1\ the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) proposes to approve regional Reliability Standard PRC-006-NPCC-1 (Automatic Underfrequency Load Shedding). The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) submitted the proposed regional Reliability Standard to the Commission for approval. The proposed regional Reliability Standard applies to generator owners, planning coordinators, distribution providers, and transmission owners in the Northeast Power Coordinating Council Region and is designed to ensure the development of an effective automatic underfrequency load shedding (UFLS) program to preserve the security and integrity of the Bulk-Power System during declining system frequency events, in coordination with the NERC continent-wide UFLS Reliability Standard PRC-006-1. The Commission also proposes to approve the associated violation risk factors and violation severity levels, implementation plan, and effective dates proposed by NERC.
