[Docket No. EERE-2008-BT-TP-0017]
RIN 1904-AB87
Energy Conservation Program for Certain Commercial and Industrial
Equipment: Test Procedures for Metal Halide Lamp Ballasts
AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposes to establish
metal halide lamp ballast test procedures that manufacturers would use
to demonstrate compliance with the metal halide ballast energy
conservation standards mandated by the statute. In accordance with the
Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended (EPCA), these test
procedures are based on American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
Standard C82.6-2005, ``Ballasts for High-Intensity Discharge Lamps--
Method of Measurement.'' Also in accordance with EPCA, DOE proposes a
test method for measuring standby mode power consumption and discusses
the fact that off mode power consumption does not apply to metal halide
lamp ballasts.
DATES: DOE held a public meeting on Friday, December 19, 2008, in
Washington, DC. DOE began accepting comments, data, and information
regarding this notice of proposed rulemaking (NOPR) at the public
meeting and will continue to accept such submissions until no later
than September 23, 2009. For details, see section IV, ``Public
Participation,'' of this NOPR.
ADDRESSES: The public meeting was held at the U.S. Department of
Energy, Forrestal Building, Room 8E-089, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW.,
Washington, DC 20585-0121.
Any comment submitted must identify the NOPR on Test Procedures for
Metal Halide Lamp Ballasts and provide the docket number EERE-2008-BT-
