Clothes Dryers, Webinar and Availability of the Preliminary Technical Support Document  
AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy  
ACTION: No tification of a webinar and availability of preliminary technical support document  
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE" or "the Department") will hold a webinar to 
discuss and receive comments on the preliminary analysis it has conducted for purpo ses of 
evaluating energy conservation standards for consumer clothes dryers. The webinar will cover the 
analytical framework, models, and tools that DOE is using to evaluate potential standards for this 
product; the results of preliminary analyses performe d by DOE for this product; the potential energy 
conservation standard levels derived from these analyses that DOE could consider for this product 
should it determine that proposed amendments are necessary; and any other issues relevant to the
