Description:  TITLE: Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial 
Prerinse Spray Valves  
AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy  
ACTION: Final determination  
SUMMARY: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act ("EPCA"), as amended, prescribes energy 
conservation standards for various consumer products and cert ain commercial and industrial 
equipment, including commercial prerinse spray valves ("CPSVs") equipment. EPCA also requires 
the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE" or "the Department") to periodically determine whether more 
stringent, amended standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and

  would result in significant energy savings. In this final determination, DOE has determined that 
amended energy conservation standards for commercial prerinse spray valves are not needed.  
DATES: T he effective date of this rule is 6 July 2022.
