Description:  TITLE: Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Metal Halide 
Lamp Fixtures  
AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy  
ACTION: Final determination  
SUMMARY: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as  amended ("EPCA"), prescribes energy 
conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial 
equipment, including metal halide lamp fixtures ("MHLFs"). EPCA also requires the U.S. Department 
of Energy ("DOE") to periodica lly determine whether more -stringent, standards would be 
technologically feasible and economically justified, and would result in significant energy savings. In

  this final determination, DOE has determined that the energy conservation standards for MHLFs d o 
not need to be amended because they are not economically justified.  
The effective date of this final determination is 24 November 2021.
