Agency Information Collection Extension
The Department of Energy (DOE or the Department), 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). The purpose of this collection is to protect national security and other critical assets entrusted to the Department.
Commission Information Collection Activities (FERC-725J); Comment Request; Extension
In compliance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) is soliciting public comment on the currently approved information collection, FERC-725J (Definition of the Bulk Electric System), which will be submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The Commission published a 60-day notice in the Federal Register on September 28, 2022 and received no comments on the 60-day notice.
Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Single Package Vertical Units
The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended (EPCA), prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including single package vertical air conditioners (SPVACs) and single package vertical heat pumps (SPVHPs), collectively referred to as single package vertical units (SPVUs). EPCA also requires the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to periodically review standards. In this notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR); notification of proposed determination (NOPD), DOE proposes to amend the current energy conservation standards for SPVUs such that the existing standard levels would be based on a new cooling efficiency metric of Integrated Energy Efficiency Ratio (IEER) for SPVACs and SPVHPs, and the current heating efficiency metric of Coefficient of Performance (COP) for SPVHPs (but without any increase in stringency), In addition, DOE has initially determined that more-stringent standards for SPVUs would not be economically justified and would not result in a significant conservation of energy. DOE also announces a public meeting to receive comment on these proposed standards and associated analyses and results.
Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedure for Single Package Vertical Air Conditioners and Single Package Vertical Heat Pumps
The U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'') is publishing a final rule to amend its test procedures for single package vertical air conditioners and single package vertical heat pumps, collectively referred to as single package vertical units (``SPVUs''). DOE is incorporating by reference the most recent version of the relevant industry test standard, AHRI 390-2021, and amending certain provisions for representations for SPVUs. DOE is also establishing definitions for ``single-phase single package vertical air conditioners with cooling capacity less than 65,000 Btu/h'' and for ``single-phase single package vertical heat pumps with cooling capacity less than 65,000 Btu/h'' to distinguish such equipment from certain residential central air conditioners and heat pumps.
Environmental Management Site-Specific Advisory Board, Portsmouth
This notice announces a meeting of the Environmental Management Site-Specific Advisory Board (EM SSAB), Portsmouth. The Federal Advisory Committee Act requires that public notice of this meeting be announced in the Federal Register.
Notice of Establishment: High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) Consortium
Through this Notice, the Office of Nuclear Energy (NE), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE or the Department), announces the establishment of the High-Assay, Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) consortium pursuant to the Energy Act of 2020. This Notice outlines the Department's process for eligible entities to request membership in the consortium.
Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Circulator Pumps
The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended (``EPCA''), prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including circulator pumps. In this notice of proposed rulemaking (``NOPR''), DOE proposes energy conservation standards for circulator pumps, and also announces a public meeting to receive comment on these proposed standards and associated analyses and results.
Reliability Standards To Address Inverter-Based Resources
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) proposes to direct the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), the Commission-certified Electric Reliability Organization (ERO), to develop new or modified Reliability Standards that address the following reliability gaps related to inverter-based resources (IBR): data sharing; model validation; planning and operational studies; and performance requirements. Further, the Commission proposes to direct NERC to submit to the Commission a compliance filing within 90 days of the effective date of the final rule in this proceeding that includes a detailed, comprehensive standards development and implementation plan to ensure all new or modified Reliability Standards necessary to address the IBR-related reliability gaps identified in the final rule are submitted to the Commission within 36 months of Commission approval of the plan.
Commission Information Collection Activities (FERC-725I) Comment Request; Extension
In compliance with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission or FERC) is soliciting public comment on the currently approved information collection, FERC-725I (Mandatory Reliability Standards for the Northeast Power Coordinating Council (NPCC)).
Agency Information Collection Renewal
The Department of Energy (DOE) invites public comment on a renewal of a collection of information for submission to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) pursuant to the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995.
National Quantum Initiative Advisory Committee; Correction
On November 25, 2022, the Department of Energy published a notice of open meeting announcing a meeting on December 16, 2022, of the National Quantum Initiative Advisory Committee. This document makes a correction to that notice.
Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedure for Dedicated-Purpose Pool Pumps
The U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'') proposes to amend the test procedures for dedicated-purpose pool pumps (``DPPPs'') to incorporate by reference the latest version of the relevant industry standards, to codify DOE's current enforcement policy regarding the scope of the DPPP test procedure pertaining to DPPPs that cannot be appropriately tested by the current DOE test procedure, to align DOE's DPPP definitions with DOE's corresponding DPPP motor definitions, and to remove an obsolete DOE DPPP test procedure appendix. DOE is seeking comment from interested parties on the proposal.
Appliance Standards and Rulemaking Federal Advisory Committee: Notice of Open Meetings of the Commercial Unitary Air Conditioner and Commercial Unitary Heat Pump Working Group
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE or the Department) announces two additional open meetings of the Commercial Unitary Air Conditioner and Commercial Unitary Heat Pump (CUAC and CUHP) working group. The Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) requires that agencies publish notice of an advisory committee meeting in the Federal Register.
