Test Procedure Interim Waiver Process
The U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'' or the ``Department'') is revising the Department's test procedure interim waiver process. The revisions address areas of the test procedure interim waiver process regulations that may result in alternate test procedures that are inconsistent with the purpose and requirements of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, and that otherwise appear not to effectuate the statute properly.
Agency Information Collection Extension
The Department of Energy (DOE), pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, intends to extend for three years, an information collection request with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
Environmental Management Site-Specific Advisory Board, Northern New Mexico
This notice announces an in-person/virtual hybrid meeting of the Environmental Management Site-Specific Advisory Board (EM SSAB), Northern New Mexico. The Federal Advisory Committee Act requires that public notice of this meeting be announced in the Federal Register.
Request for Information (RFI) Regarding Planning for Establishment of a Program To Support the Availability of High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) for Civilian Domestic Research, Development, Demonstration, and Commercial Use
The U.S Department of Energy (DOE or the Department) is issuing this RFI to invite input on the planning for establishment of a DOE HALEU Availability Program and to gather information to consider in preparing the required report to Congress describing actions proposed to be carried out by DOE under the program. The Energy Act of 2020 authorized the Department to establish and carry out, through the Office of Nuclear Energy, a program to support the availability of high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) for civilian domestic research, development, demonstration, and commercial use.
Notice of Data Availability: Comments Received on the Department's Draft Consent-Based Siting Process for Consolidated Storage and Disposal Facilities for Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste Dated January 12, 2017
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE or Department) Office of Nuclear Energy (NE) is announcing this notice of data availability (NODA) regarding comments received, as well as a summary of the comments, on DOE's ``Draft Consent-Based Siting Process for Consolidated Storage and Disposal Facilities for Spent Nuclear Fuel and High-Level Radioactive Waste,'' dated January 12, 2017 (2017 Draft CBS Process). The Department is making this information available to inform the public as to the content of the comments received on the 2017 Draft CBS Process and to be available for use in formulating responses to DOE's recently issued request for information (RFI) on how to site federal facilities for the temporary, consolidated storage of spent nuclear fuel using a consent-based approach, dated December 1, 2021.
Energy Conservation Program: Backstop Requirement for General Service Lamps
The U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'') proposes to codify in the Code of Federal Regulations the 45 lumens per watt (``lm/W'') backstop requirement for general service lamps (``GSLs'') that Congress prescribed in the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended. DOE proposes this backstop requirement applies because DOE failed to complete a rulemaking regarding general service lamps in accordance with certain statutory criteria. This proposal represents a departure from DOE's previous determination published in 2019 that the backstop requirement was not triggered. DOE welcomes comments on this proposal.
Energy Conservation Program for Appliance Standards: Procedures, Interpretations, and Policies for Consideration in New or Revised Energy Conservation Standards and Test Procedures for Consumer Products and Commercial/Industrial Equipment
The U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'' or the ``Department'') is revising the Department's ``Procedures, Interpretations, and Policies for Consideration of New or Revised Energy Conservation Standards and Test Procedures for Consumer Products and Certain Commercial/Industrial Equipment.'' The revisions are consistent with longstanding DOE practice and would remove unnecessary obstacles to DOE's ability to meet its statutory obligations under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (``EPCA'').
Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedure for VRF Multi-Split Systems
The U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'') proposes to amend the test procedure for variable refrigerant flow multi-split air conditioners and heat pumps (``VRF multi-split systems'') to incorporate by reference the latest version of the industry test standard. DOE also proposes to adopt the integrated energy efficiency ratio metric in its test procedures for VRF multi-split systems. Additionally, DOE proposes to adopt provisions in the updated industry test procedure relevant to certification and enforcement, including a controls verification procedure. DOE welcomes written comment from the public on any subject within the scope of this document (including topics not specifically raised in this proposal), as well as the submission of data and other relevant information.
Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedure for Air-Cooled, Three-Phase, Small Commercial Package Air Conditioning and Heating Equipment With a Cooling Capacity of Less Than 65,000 Btu/h and Air-Cooled, Three-Phase, Variable Refrigerant Flow Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps With a Cooling Capacity of Less Than 65,000 Btu/h
The U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'' or ``the Department'') proposes to amend its test procedure for air-cooled, three-phase, small commercial package air conditioning and heating equipment with a cooling capacity of less than 65,000 British thermal units (``Btu/h'') per hour and air-cooled, three-phase, variable refrigerant flow air conditioners and heat pumps with a cooling capacity of less than 65,000 Btu/h to incorporate by reference the latest version of the relevant industry test standard. DOE also proposes to adopt the seasonal energy efficiency ratio 2 (``SEER2'') and heating seasonal performance factor 2 (``HSPF2'') metrics specified by that industry test standard in the DOE test procedures for the three-phase equipment that is the subject of this notice of proposed rulemaking (``NOPR''). Additionally, DOE proposes to amend certain provisions for representations and enforcement to harmonize with single-phase products.
