Department of Energy March 11, 2024 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

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-716, Good Faith Requests for Transmission Service and Good Faith Responses by Transmitting Utilities, OMB Control Number 1902-0170.

In light of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit recently granting a petition for review of a final rule published by the U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'') on January 19, 2022, and remanding the matter to DOE for further proceedings, DOE is initiating an information and data gathering effort on whether ``short- cycle'' product classes for dishwashers, residential clothes washers, and consumer clothes dryers are warranted under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. In this request for information, DOE solicits data and information from the public to help DOE in its rulemaking to evaluate whether: products with a ``short cycle'' as the normal cycle are available in the market; and products with a ``short cycle'' as the normal cycle should be subject to different standards than products without a ``short cycle'' as the normal cycle.
