Department of Energy August 19, 2021 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Administrator for the Southeastern Power Administration (Southeastern) has confirmed and approved, on an interim basis, rate schedules JW-1-L and JW-2-F for the sale of power from the Jim Woodruff Project. The rate schedules are approved on an interim basis through September 30, 2026, and are subject to confirmation and approval by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on a final basis.

On January 19, 2017, the U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'') published two final rules adopting revised definitions of general service lamp (``GSL'') and general service incandescent lamp (``GSIL''), and other supplemental definitions, to go into effect January 1, 2020. Prior to that effective date, on September 5, 2019, DOE withdrew the revised definitions of GSL, GSIL, and the other supplemental definitions. Upon further review and consideration, in this notice of proposed rulemaking (``NOPR''), DOE proposes to adopt the definitions of GSL and GSIL and the associated supplemental definitions set forth in the January 2017 final rules. This document also announces a public meeting to receive comment on these proposed definitions.
