Description:  TITLE: Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for 
Miscellaneous Gas Products  
AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department o f Energy  
ACTION: Request for information  
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE" or "the Department") is initiating an effort to
