Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) for Particulate
Matter Less Than 2.5 Micrometers (PM2.5 )--Increments,
Significant Impact Levels (SILs) and Significant Monitoring
Concentration (SMC)
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA is amending the requirements for particulate matter
less than 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5 ) under the Prevention of
Significant Deterioration (PSD) program by adding maximum allowable
increases in ambient pollutant concentrations (``increments'') and two
screening tools, known as the Significant Impact Levels (SILs) and a
Significant Monitoring Concentration (SMC) for PM2.5 . The
SILs for PM2.5 are also being added to two other New Source
Review (NSR) rules that regulate the construction and modification of
any major stationary source locating in an attainment or unclassifiable
area, where the source's emissions may cause or contribute to a
violation of the national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS).
DATES: This final rule is effective on December 20, 2010.
ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under
Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2006-0605. All documents in the docket are
listed on the http://www.regulations.gov Web Site. Although listed in
the index, some information may not be publicly available, e.g.,
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such as
copyrighted material, is not placed on the Internet and will be

materials are available either electronically through http://

Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products: Test
Procedures for Residential Furnaces and Boilers (Standby Mode and Off
Mode)
AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is amending its test
procedures for residential furnaces and boilers to include provisions
for measuring standby mode and off mode energy consumption, as required
by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007). These
test procedure amendments are primarily based on and incorporate by
reference provisions of the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) Standard 62301, ``Household electrical appliances--Measurement of
standby power.'' This final rule adds new calculations to determine the
annual energy consumption associated with standby mode and off mode
measured power, and it modifies the existing energy consumption
equations to integrate standby mode and off mode energy consumption
into the calculation of overall annual energy consumption of these
products. This final rule also adopts a number of definitions for key
terms.
DATES: This rule is effective November 19, 2010. The incorporation by
reference of certain publications listed in the rule is approved by the
Director of the Federal Register on November 19, 2010.
ADDRESSES: You may review copies of all materials related to this
rulemaking at the U.S. Department of Energy, Resource Room of the
Building Technologies Program, 950 L'Enfant Plaza, SW., Suite 600,
