SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is adopting amended energy
conservation standards for commercial clothes washers (CCWs). DOE has
determined that amended energy conservation standards for these types
of equipment would result in significant conservation of energy, and
are technologically feasible and economically justified.
DATES: The effective date of this rule is March 9, 2010. The standards
established in today's final rule will be applicable starting January
8, 2013.
ADDRESSES: For access to the docket to read background documents, the
technical support document, transcripts of the public meetings in this
proceeding, or comments received, visit the U.S. Department of Energy,
Resource Room of the Building Technologies Program, 950 L'Enfant Plaza,
SW., 6th Floor, Washington, DC 20024, (202) 586-2945, between 9 a.m.
and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays. Please call

proceeding (i.e., framework document, advance notice of proposed
rulemaking, notice of proposed rulemaking, supplemental notice of
proposed rulemaking), draft analyses, public meeting materials, and
