Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Residential Clothes Dryers and Room Air Conditioners

概要

DOE published a direct final rule to establish amended energy conservation standards for residential clothes dryers and room air conditioners in the Federal Register on April 21, 2011. DOE has determined that the adverse comments received in response to the direct final rule do not provide a reasonable basis for withdrawing the direct final rule. Therefore, DOE provides this document confirming adoption of the energy conservation standards established in the direct final rule and announcing the effective date of those standards. DOE also published a proposed rule to amend the compliance dates set forth in the direct final rule on May 9, 2011. Elsewhere in today's Federal Register, DOE publishes a final rule which adopts the compliance dates set forth in its proposed rule published on May 9, 2011.
