Description:  TITLE: Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for  Dedicated -
Purpose Pool Pumps  
AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of  Energy  
ACTION: Request for information  
SUMMARY:   The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE ") is initiating an effort to determine whether to
