Description:  TITLE: Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for General 
Service Fluorescent Lamps  
AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Depar tment of Energy  
ACTION: Notice of proposed determination and request for comment  
SUMMARY: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended ("EPCA"), prescribes energy 
conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industr ial

  standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified , and would result in significant 
energy savings. In this notice of proposed determination ("NOPD"), DOE has initially determined 
that amended energy conservation standards for GSFLs do not need to be amended and requests 
comment on this proposed determina tion and the associated analyses and results.
