Description:  TITLE: Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for General 
Service Fluorescent Lamps  
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 certai n commercial and industrial 
equipment, including general service fluorescent lamps (GSFLs). EPCA also requires the U.S. 
Department of Energy (DOE) to periodically determine whether more - stringent, amended standards

  would be technologically feasible and ec onomically justified, and would result in significant energy 
savings. In this final determination, DOE has determined that energy conservation standards for 
GSFLs do not need to be amended.  
DATES: The effective date of this final determination is 15 March 2023.
