Description:  The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended ("EPCA"), prescribes energy 
conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial 
equipment, including general service lamps  ("GSLs"). 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 energy savings. In this final rule, 
DOE is adopting amended energy conservation standards for GSLs. DOE has determined that the 
amended energy conservation standards for these products would result in significant conservation 
of energy and are technologically feasible and economically justified.
