Request for Information  
 
Description:  TITLE: Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Certain 
Commercial and Industrial Equipment; Early Assessment Review; Commercial and Industrial 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 undertaking an early assessment review for 
amended energy conservation standards for commercial and industrial pumps ("pumps") to 
determine whether to amend applicable energy con servation standards for this equipment. 
Specifically, through this request for information ("RFI"), DOE seeks data and information to evaluate 
whether amended energy conservation standards would result in a significant savings of energy; be 
technologically  feasible; and be economically justified. DOE welcomes written comments from the 
public on any subject within the scope of this document (including those topics not specifically raised
