Certification of New Interstate Natural Gas Facilities
This Updated Policy Statement describes how the Commission will evaluate all factors bearing on the public interest in determining whether a new interstate natural gas transportation project is required by the public convenience and necessity under the Natural Gas Act.
Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Water Heaters
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE or the Department) announces the availability of the preliminary analysis it has conducted for purposes of evaluating the need for amended energy conservation standards for consumer water heaters, which is set forth in the Department's preliminary technical support document (TSD) for this rulemaking. DOE will hold a public meeting via webinar to discuss and receive comment on its preliminary analysis. The meeting will cover the analytical framework, models, and tools used to evaluate potential standards; the results of preliminary analyses performed; potential energy conservation standard levels derived from these analyses (if DOE determines that proposed amendments are necessary); and other relevant issues. In addition, DOE encourages written comments on these subjects.
Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Variable Refrigerant Flow Multi-Split Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps
In this document, the U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'' or the ``Department'') is proposing amended energy conservation standards for variable refrigerant flow (VRF) multi-split air conditioners and VRF multi-split system heat pumps (collectively referred to as ``VRF multi-split systems'') that rely on a new cooling efficiency metric and are equivalent to those levels specified in the industry standard. DOE has preliminarily determined that it lacks the clear and convincing evidence required by the statute to adopt standards more stringent than the levels specified in the industry standard. This document also announces a public meeting webinar to receive comment on these proposed standards and associated analyses and results.
Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedures and Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Products; Consumer Air Cleaners; Reopening of Comment Period
On January 25, 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE or the Department) published in the Federal Register a request for information (RFI) regarding Test Procedures and Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Air Cleaners. On February 10, 2022, DOE received a joint comment from the Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E), Southern California Edison (SCE), the Appliance Standards Awareness Project (ASAP), and the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM), (collectively, the ``Joint Commenters''), requesting a 45-day extension of the public comment period for the RFI. DOE has reviewed these requests and is reopening the public comment period to allow comments to be submitted until April 10, 2022.
