Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedures for Central Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps; Correction
On January 5, 2017, the U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'') published a final rule that made two sets of amendments to the test procedure for central air conditioners and heat pumps (``CAC/HPs''): amendments to the existing test procedure required for determining compliance with the current energy conservation standards; and establishment of a new test procedure that would be the basis for making efficiency representations as of the compliance date for any amended energy conservation standards. This document corrects typographical errors, omissions, and incorrect cross-references in the Code of Federal Regulations that resulted from the January 2017 final rule.

Notice of Request for Information (RFI) on Using a Consent-Based Siting Process To Identify Federal Interim Storage Facilities
The Office of Nuclear Energy (NE), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), requests information on how to site Federal facilities for the temporary, consolidated storage of spent nuclear fuel using a consent- based approach. DOE anticipates that communities; governments at the local, State, and Tribal levels; members of the public; energy and environmental justice groups; organizations or corporations; and other stakeholders may be interested in responding to this Request for Information (RFI). We especially welcome insight from people, communities, and groups that have historically not been well- represented in these discussions.
