AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended,
establishes energy and water conservation standards and test procedures
for certain consumer products and commercial and industrial equipment.
The Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPACT 1992) (Pub. L. 102-486) and the
Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT 2005) (Pub. L. 109-58) amended EPCA
and included new Federal energy and water conservation standards and
test procedures for certain consumer products and certain commercial
and industrial equipment. In today's final rule, the U.S. Department of
Energy (DOE) adopts regulations to implement reporting requirements for
energy conservation standards and energy use, and to address other
matters, including compliance certification, prohibited actions, and
enforcement procedures for specific consumer products and commercial
and industrial equipment covered by EPACT 2005, as well as commercial
heating, air-conditioning, and water heating equipment covered under
EPACT 1992. In addition, DOE is adopting provisions for manufacturer
certification for distribution transformers.
DATES: This rule is effective February 4, 2010 except for Sec. 431.371
which contains information collection requirements which have not been
approved by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The Department
of Energy will publish a document in the Federal Register announcing
the effective date.
Manufacturers (or third-party organizations) of consumer products
subject to today's final rule are required to submit a compliance
statement and the first certification report to DOE on or before July
6, 2010. Manufacturers (or third-party organizations) of commercial and
industrial equipment subject to today's final rule are required to
submit a compliance statement and the first certification report to DOE
on or before the date 180 days after publication of the notice
announcing OMB approval of the information collection requirements.
