Interpretation of Foreign Entity of Concern
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE or the Department) provides this notification of proposed interpretive rule and request for public comment on its interpretation of the statutory definition of ``foreign entity of concern'' (FEOC) in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, also known as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL).

Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedure for Water-Source Heat Pumps
The U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'') is amending its test procedure for water-source heat pumps to expand the scope of applicability of the test procedure, incorporate by reference a new industry consensus test standard for water-source heat pumps, adopt a seasonal cooling efficiency metric, and specify more representative test conditions used for measuring heating performance. DOE has determined that the amended test procedure will produce results that are more representative of an average use cycle and be more consistent with current industry practice without being unduly burdensome to conduct. Additionally, DOE is adopting provisions governing public representations of efficiency for this equipment.
Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Oil, Electric, and Weatherized Gas Consumer Furnaces
The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended (``EPCA''), prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including non- weatherized oil-fired furnaces (``NWOFs''), mobile home oil-fired furnaces (``MHOFs''), weatherized gas furnaces (``WGFs''), weatherized oil-fired furnaces (``WOFs''), and electric furnaces (``EFs''). EPCA also requires the U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'') to periodically review its existing standards to determine whether more-stringent, amended standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would result in significant energy savings. In this notification of proposed determination (``NOPD''), DOE has initially determined that amended energy conservation standards for EFs, NWOFs, MHOFs, WOFs, and WGFs do not need to be amended. DOE requests comment on this proposed determination and the associated analyses and results.
