Notice is hereby given that the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is publishing notice of modifications to an existing FERC system of records titled "FERC Transit Subsidy Program (TSP) Records (FERC-41)" previously titled "FERC Transit Subsidy Program (TSP) (FERC-41)."
Environmental Management Site-Specific Advisory Board, Paducah
This notice announces a meeting of the Environmental Management Site-Specific Advisory Board (EM SSAB), Paducah. The Federal Advisory Committee Act requires that public notice of this meeting be announced in the Federal Register.
Notice of Availability: Draft Energy Storage Strategy and Roadmap; Extension of Public Comment Period
On December 20, 2024, the Department of Energy (DOE) published a notice entitled "Notice of Availability: Draft Energy Storage Strategy and Roadmap." DOE is extending the public comment period announced in that notice, which currently closes on February 3, 2025, by 45 days. The comment period will now remain open until March 20, 2025, to allow additional time for the public to review and comment on the Draft DOE Energy Storage Strategy and Roadmap.
Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards and Test Procedures for Certain Consumer Products and Commercial Equipment; Corrections
The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") is publishing a final rule to amend and correct certain energy conservation standards and test procedures of consumer products and commercial and industrial equipment, as described in sections I and II of this document. The changes addressed in this document are technical in nature, and neither the errors nor the corrections in this document affect the substance of any rulemaking or any conclusions reached in support of any final rule.
Reliability Standards for Frequency and Voltage Protection Settings and Ride-Through for Inverter-Based Resources
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) proposes to approve proposed Reliability Standards PRC-024-4 (Frequency and Voltage Protection Settings for Synchronous Generators, Type 1 and Type 2 Wind Resources, and Synchronous Condensers) and PRC-029-1 (Frequency and Voltage Ride-through Requirements for Inverter-Based Resources), which the North American Electric Reliability Corporation submitted in response to Commission directives. The Commission seeks comments on all aspects of the proposed approval.
Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Refrigerators, Freezers, and Refrigerator-Freezers
The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended ("EPCA"), prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including commercial refrigerators, freezers, and refrigerator-freezers ("commercial refrigeration equipment" or "CRE"). EPCA also requires the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") to periodically review its existing standards to determine whether more-stringent standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified and would result in significant energy savings. In this final rule, DOE is adopting new and amended energy conservation standards for CRE. It has determined that the new and amended energy conservation standards for this equipment would result in significant conservation of energy and are technologically feasible and economically justified.
Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedure for General Service Lamps
The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") is adopting clarifications to the test procedures for general service lamps ("GSLs") located in appendix W, appendix BB and appendix DD. Specifically, DOE is clarifying instructions that GSLs must not be tested as colored lamps and that lamps with additional components that do not affect light output must be turned off during testing. The clarifications also specify that non-integrated lamps be tested with a fluorescent lamp ballast, high intensity discharge ("HID") lamp ballast or external light-emitting diode ("LED") driver selected based on compatibility lists and availability; and provide specifications regarding the starting method, ballast factor, and number of lamps. This rulemaking is limited in scope and is providing clarifications to the current test procedures that are required for certification of compliance with existing applicable GSL energy conservation standards. Further, this rulemaking does not satisfy the Energy Policy and Conservation Act ("EPCA") requirement that, at least once every 7 years, DOE review the test procedures for GSLs.
Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Portable Electric Spas
The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") is publishing this notice of data availability ("NODA") regarding certain data and analytical results being made available related to DOE's evaluation of potential energy conservation standards for portable electric spas ("PESs").
Continuity of Operations Plan
In this final rule, the Commission revises its Continuity of Operations Plan regulations to include, in its hierarchy of delegation of Commission authority, the Director and other staff of the Office of Energy Infrastructure Security, who were not included when the regulations were earlier revised.
