Description:  Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Small Electric 
Motors  
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 small electric motors ("SEMs"). EPCA also requires the U.S. Department of 
Energy ("DOE") to periodically determine whether more -stringent standards would be technologically 
feasible and economically justified, and would result in significant conservation of energy. In this 
final determination, DOE  has determined that more stringent SEMs standards would not be cost 
effective, and thus has determined that standards for SEMs should not be amended.  
The effective date of this final determination is 19 January 2021.
