The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended by the National Energy Conservation Policy Act, the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act, the National Appliance Energy Conservation Amendments of 1988 and the Energy Policy Act of 1992, prescribes energy conservation standards for certain major household appliances and requires the Department of Energy (Department) to administer an energy conservation program for these products. Among other things, the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended, requires the Department to consider amending the energy conservation standards for dishwashers, clothes washers and clothes dryers. The purpose of this Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is to: Present for comment the product classes that the Department is planning to analyze; present a detailed discussion of the analytical methodology and analytical models that the Department expects to use in performing analyses in connection with the proposed rule; and facilitate the gathering of information and comments prior to publishing a subsequent notice of proposed rulemaking.
