Department of Energy January 27, 2016 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products: Energy Conservation Standards for Residential Boilers; Correction
Document Number: 2016-01655
Type: Rule
Date: 2016-01-27
Agency: Department of Energy
On January 15, 2016, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) published a final rule in the Federal Register that amended the energy conservation standards for residential boilers (81 FR 2319). Due to a drafting error, that document recited an ambiguous/erroneous date for compliance with the amended standards at one place in the final rule's preamble. However, the compliance date was correctly provided in the DATES section, as well as the regulatory text. Nevertheless, in order to prevent any confusion, this final rule corrects this error.

Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Prerinse Spray Valves
Document Number: 2016-00068
Type: Rule
Date: 2016-01-27
Agency: Department of Energy
The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), as amended, prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including commercial prerinse spray valves (CPSVs). EPCA also requires the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to periodically determine whether more- stringent standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would save a significant amount of energy. In this final rule, DOE is adopting more-stringent energy conservation standards for commercial prerinse spray valves because DOE has determined that the amended energy conservation standards for these products would result in significant conservation of energy, and are technologically feasible and economically justified.
