Energy Conservation Program: Test 
Procedures for Certain Categories of General Service Lamps 
AGENCY : Office of Energy Efficiency and 
Renewable Energy, Department of Energy. 
ACTION : Notice of proposed rulemaking. 
SUMMARY : The U.S. Department of 
Energy (DOE) proposes to establish test procedures for certain categories of general service lamps (GSLs) to support the ongoing energy conservation standards rulemaking. Specifically, this rulemaking proposes new test procedures for determining the initial lumen output, input power, lamp efficacy, power factor, and standby mode power of GSLs that are not integrated light emitting diode (LED) lamps, compact florescent lamps (CFLs), or general service incandescent lamps (GSILs). DOE is also proposing clarifying references to the existing lamp test procedures and sampling plans for determining the represented values of integrated LED lamps, CFLs, and GSILs.

I. Authority and Background 
Title III of the Energy Policy and 
Conservation Act of 1975 (42 U.S.C. 
6291, et seq.; ‘‘EPCA’’ or ‘‘the Act’’) sets 
forth a variety of provisions designed to improve energy efficiency. All references to EPCA refer to the statute as amended through the Energy Efficiency Improvement Act of 2015 (EEIA 2015), Public Law 114–11 (April 30, 2015). Part B of title III, which for editorial reasons was redesignated as

1The definition also specified several 
exemptions, including: General service fluorescent 
lamps; incandescent reflector lamps; mercury vapor lamps; appliance lamps; black light lamps; bug lamps; colored lamps; infrared lamps; marine signal lamps; mine service lamps; plant light lamps; sign service lamps; traffic signal lamps; and medium screw base incandescent lamps that are left-hand thread lamps, marine lamps, reflector lamps, rough service lamps, shatter-resistant lamps (including a shatter-proof lamp and a shatter-protected lamp), silver bowl lamps, showcase lamps, 3-way incandescent lamps, vibration service lamps, G shape lamps as defined in ANSI C78.20 and ANSI C79.1–2002 with a diameter of 5 inches or more, T shape lamps as defined in ANSI C78.20 and ANSI C79.1–2002 and that use not more than 40 watts or have a length of more than 10 inches, and B, BA, CA, F, G16–1/2, G–25, G30, S, or M–14 lamps as defined in ANSI C79.1–2002 and ANSI C78.20 of 40 watts or less. Part A upon incorporation into the U.S. 
Code (42 U.S.C. 6291–6309, as codified), establishes the ‘‘Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products Other Than Automobiles.’’ This program includes general service lamps, the subject of this NOPR. 
Under EPCA, the energy conservation 
program consists essentially of four parts: (1) Testing, (2) labeling, (3) Federal energy conservation standards, and (4) certification and enforcement procedures. The testing requirements consist of test procedures that manufacturers of covered products must use as the basis for (1) certifying to DOE that their products comply with the applicable energy conservation standards adopted under EPCA (42 U.S.C. 6295(s)) and (2) making representations about the energy use or efficiency of the products (42 U.S.C. 6293(c)). Similarly, DOE must use these test procedures to determine whether the products comply with any relevant standards promulgated under EPCA. (42 U.S.C. 6295(s)) 
DOE is developing energy 
conservation standards for general service lamps (GSLs) and has issued a notice of proposed rulemaking published elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register. In support of that rulemaking, this NOPR proposes test procedures for certain categories of GSLs that manufacturers of those lamps would be required to use to assess performance relative to any potential energy conservation standards the lamps must comply with in the future. 
Under 42 U.S.C. 6293, EPCA sets forth 
the criteria and procedures DOE must follow when prescribing or amending test procedures for covered products. (42 U.S.C. 6293(b)) EPCA provides, in relevant part, that any test procedures prescribed or amended under this section shall be reasonably designed to produce test results that measure energy efficiency, energy use, or estimated annual operating cost of a covered product during a representative average 
use cycle or period of use and shall not be unduly burdensome to conduct. (42 U.S.C. 6293(b)(3)) Pursuant to this authority, DOE proposes to prescribe test procedures for certain categories of GSLs in support of the ongoing GSL standards rulemaking. 
Finally, EPCA directs DOE to amend 
its test procedures for all covered products to integrate measures of standby mode and off mode energy consumption, if technically feasible. (42 U.S.C. 6295(gg)(2)(A)) Standby mode and off mode energy must be incorporated into the overall energy efficiency, energy consumption, or other energy descriptor for each covered product unless the current test 
procedures already account for and incorporate standby and off mode energy consumption or such integration is technically infeasible. If an integrated test procedure is technically infeasible, DOE must prescribe a separate standby mode and off mode energy use test procedure for the covered product. Id. Any such amendment must consider the most current versions of the IEC Standard 62301 and IEC Standard 62087, as applicable. DOE has tentatively determined that general service lamps can operate in standby mode but not in off mode. Consistent with EPCA’s requirement, DOE proposes to address measurement of standby mode power in Appendix CC, 
as detailed in section III.C of this NOPR. 
II. Synopsis of the Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking 
In this NOPR, DOE proposes test 
procedures for determining initial lumen output, input power, lamp efficacy, power factor, and standby mode power for certain categories of GSLs for which DOE does not have an existing regulatory test procedure. DOE also notes that representations of energy efficiency must be based on testing in accordance with this rulemaking, if adopted, beginning 180 days after the publication of the final rule. 
III. Discussion A. Scope of Applicability 
The term GSL includes general 
service incandescent lamps, compact 
fluorescent lamps (CFLs), general service light-emitting diode (LED) lamps, organic light-emitting diode (OLED) lamps, and any other lamps that the Secretary determines are used to satisfy lighting applications traditionally served by general service incandescent lamps (GSILs). 10 CFR 430.2. In its ongoing energy conservation standards rulemaking, DOE is proposing to include in the definition for general service lamp a lamp that has an ANSI base, operates at any voltage, has an initial lumen output of 310 lumens or greater (or 232 lumens or greater for modified spectrum general service incandescent lamps), is not a light fixture, is not an LED downlight retrofit kit, and is used in general lighting applications.
1In this NOPR, DOE proposes test procedures for 
certain categories of general service lamps that do not have existing DOE regulatory procedures and clarifies references to the existing DOE regulatory procedures for integrated LED lamps, CFLs, and GSILs. 
B. Proposed Method for Determining 
Initial Lumen Output, Input Power, Lamp Efficacy, and Power Factor 
As described in the previous section, 
the term general service lamp includes many types of lamps using varying lighting technologies. Several of the lamp types included in the definition currently must comply with energy conservation standards and therefore test procedures already exist for these lamps. GSILs are required to comply with the energy conservation standards in 10 CFR 430.32(x) and test procedures for these lamps are in Appendix R to subpart B of part 430. Medium base compact fluorescent lamps (MBCFLs) must comply with standards in 10 CFR 430.32(u) and test procedures for these lamps are in Appendix W. In a separate test procedure rulemaking, DOE has proposed revised test procedures for MBCFLs as well as new test procedures 
for all other compact fluorescent lamps. 80 FR 45724 (July 31, 2015). The updated and new test procedures will appear at Appendix W. In addition, DOE has proposed new test procedures for integrated LED lamps. 80 FR 39644 (July 9, 2015). Although integrated LED lamps are not currently required to comply with energy conservation standards, DOE is proposing standards for them in the ongoing energy conservation standards rulemaking for GSLs. The test procedures for integrated LED lamps are proposed to be located in new Appendix BB. 
If DOE test procedures already exist or 
have been proposed in an ongoing rulemaking (such as for general service incandescent lamps, compact fluorescent lamps, and integrated LED lamps), DOE proposes to reference, in this rulemaking, those specific provisions. For all other general service lamps, DOE proposes new test procedures in this rulemaking. For the new test procedures, DOE proposes to reference the most recent versions of

relevant industry standards. Table III.1 
summarizes the test procedures that DOE is proposing for general service lamps, largely based on the lighting 
technology that they use.

Non-integrated LED lamps ....................................................................... CIE S025, sections 4–6* 
The test procedures for general 
service lamps that do not have existing 
DOE test procedures would be contained in a new Appendix CC. Appendix CC would contain methods for determining initial lumen output, input power, lamp efficacy, and power factor. Energy conservation standards for general service lamps, described in the ongoing energy conservation standards rulemaking, are in terms of lamp efficacy, expressed in lumens per watt (lm/W). Initial lumen output and input power are measured quantities used to calculate lamp efficacy. As described in section IV.F.2.b of the NOPR in the ongoing energy conservation standards rulemaking for GSLs, DOE has determined that power factor impacts energy use. Therefore, DOE also proposes test procedures for power factor in Appendix CC. 
C. Proposed Method for Determining 
Standby Mode Power 
As described in section I, EPCA 
directs DOE to amend its test procedures for all covered products to integrate measures of standby mode and off mode energy consumption, if technically feasible. (42 U.S.C. 6295(gg)(2)(A)) This notice proposes both active mode and standby mode test procedures for general service lamps. DOE does not propose a test procedure for off mode energy consumption because DOE determined that it is not possible for GSLs included in the scope of the proposed energy conservation standards rulemaking to meet the off- mode criteria. There is no condition in which a GSL connected to main power is not already in a mode accounted for in either active or standby mode. 
EPCA section 325(gg)(2)(A) directs 
DOE to establish test procedures for standby mode operation ‘‘taking into consideration the most current versions of Standards 62301 and 62087 of the International Electrotechnical Commission . . .’’ (42 U.S.C. 6295(gg)(2)(A)) IEC Standard 62087 
applies only to audio, video, and related equipment, but not to lighting equipment. As IEC Standard 62087 does not apply to this rulemaking, DOE is proposing to use the standby mode test procedures outlined in IEC Standard 62301, which applies generally to household electrical appliances. Referencing IEC 62301 is consistent with the proposed standby mode test procedures for compact fluorescent lamps and integrated LED lamps. 80 FR 45724, 45738 (July 31, 2015) and 80 FR 39644, 39654 (July 9, 2015). 
D. Laboratory Accreditation 
DOE proposes in this document to 
require that testing of initial lumen 
output, input power, lamp efficacy, power factor, and standby mode power (if applicable) for general service lamps be conducted by test laboratories accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) or an accrediting organization recognized by the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC). NVLAP is a member of ILAC, so test data collected by any laboratory accredited by an accrediting body recognized by ILAC would be acceptable. Testing for other regulated lighting products (such as general service fluorescent lamps, incandescent reflector lamps, and fluorescent lamp ballasts), in addition to general service lamps that must already comply with energy conservation standards (such as general service incandescent lamps and medium base compact fluorescent lamps), must also be conducted in a similarly accredited facility. 10 CFR 430.25. 
E. Represented Values, Certification, 
and Rounding Requirements 
DOE is proposing to create a new 
section for general service lamps, 10 
CFR 429.57, to provide sampling, represented value, certification, and rounding requirements. Existing sampling procedures in 10 CFR part 429 are referenced, where applicable. If a test procedure does not currently exist, sampling and represented value calculations reference the existing DOE test procedure with the most similar lamp technology. For example, sampling and represented value calculations for OLED lamps are to be as described in section 10 CFR 429.56, the section that addresses integrated LED lamps. 
DOE also proposes certification and 
rounding requirements to include the relevant metrics for general service lamps. Rounding requirements are consistent with those for general service incandescent lamps and those proposed for compact fluorescent lamps and integrated LED lamps. 80 FR 45724, 45752 (July 31, 2015) and 80 FR 39644, 39665 (July 9, 2015). 
F. Effective Date and Compliance Dates 
If adopted, the effective date for the 
new test procedures proposed in this 
NOPR would be 30 days after publication of the GSL test procedure final rule in the Federal Register. More specifically, for GSLs that are not integrated LED lamps, CFLs, or GSILs, the effective date of the new test procedure upon adoption would be 30 days after a final rule would be published in the Federal Register. Pursuant to EPCA, manufacturers of covered products would be required to use the applicable test procedure as the basis for determining that their products comply with the applicable energy conservation standards and for making representations about the efficiency of those products. (42 U.S.C. 6293(c); 42 U.S.C. 6295(s)) For those energy efficiency or consumption metrics covered by the DOE test procedure (i.e., the test method and sampling plan), manufacturers must make representations, including certification of compliance with an applicable standard, in accordance with the DOE

signatory member to the ILAC MRA. DOE based its estimate of the costs associated with accreditation on the NVLAP accreditation body. test procedure no later than 180 days 
after publication of a final rule in the Federal Register (referred to as the ‘‘compliance date’’). 
DOE proposes that after the effective 
date and prior to the compliance date of a GSL test procedure final rule, manufacturers may voluntarily begin to make representations with respect to the energy use or efficiency of GSLs that are not integrated LED lamps, CFLs, and GSILs using the results of testing pursuant to that final rule. On or after 180 days after publication of a final rule, any representations, including certifications of compliance (if required), made with respect to the energy use or efficiency of GSLs that are not integrated LED lamps, CFLs, and GSILs would be required to be made in accordance with the results of testing pursuant to the new test procedures. 
IV. Procedural Issues and Regulatory 
Review 
A. Review Under Executive Order 12866 
The Office of Management and Budget 
(OMB) has determined that test 
procedure rulemakings do not constitute ‘‘significant regulatory actions’’ under section 3(f) of Executive Order 12866, ‘‘Regulatory Planning and Review.’’ 58 FR 51735 (Oct. 4, 1993). Accordingly, this action was not subject to review under the Executive Order by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs (OIRA) in the OMB. 
B. Review Under the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act 
The Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 
U.S.C. 601 et seq.) requires preparation 
of an initial regulatory flexibility analysis (IRFA) for any rule that by law must be proposed for public comment, unless the agency certifies that the rule, if promulgated, will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. As required by Executive Order 13272, ‘‘Proper Consideration of Small Entities in Agency Rulemaking,’’ 67 FR 53461 (Aug. 16, 2002), DOE published procedures and policies on February 19, 2003, to ensure that the potential impacts of its rules on small entities are properly considered during the DOE rulemaking process. 68 FR 7990. DOE has made its procedures and policies available on the Office of the General Counsel’s Web site: http://energy.gov/gc/office-general-counsel. 
DOE reviewed the test procedures for 
GSLs proposed in this NOPR under the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act and the procedures and policies published on February 19, 2003. DOE certifies that the proposed rule, if adopted, would not have a significant 
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. The factual basis for this certification is set forth in the following paragraphs. 
1. Estimated Small Business Burden 
The Small Business Administration 
(SBA) considers a business entity to be 
a small business, if, together with its affiliates, it employs less than a threshold number of workers specified in 13 CFR part 121. These size standards and codes are established by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). Manufacturing of GSLs is classified under NAICS 335110, ‘‘Electric Lamp Bulb and Part Manufacturing.’’ The SBA sets a threshold of 1,000 employees or less for an entity to be considered as a small business for this category. 
To estimate the number of companies 
that could be small businesses that sell GSLs, DOE conducted a market survey using publicly available information. DOE’s research involved information provided by trade associations (e.g., the 
National Electrical Manufacturers’ Association) and information from DOE’s Compliance Certification Management System (CCMS) Database, the Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR Certified Light Bulbs Database, LED Lighting Facts Database, previous rulemakings, individual company Web sites, SBA’s database, and market research tools (e.g., Hoover’s 
reports). DOE screened out companies that do not meet the definition of a ‘‘small business’’ or are completely 
foreign owned and operated. DOE identified approximately 118 small businesses that sell GSLs in the United States. 
In this NOPR, DOE proposes test 
procedures for determining initial lumen output, input power, lamp efficacy, power factor, and standby power of GSLs. Several of the lamp types included in the definition of general service lamp must already comply with energy conservation standards and therefore test procedures already exist for these lamps. If DOE test procedures already exist or have been proposed in an ongoing rulemaking (such as for general service incandescent lamps, compact fluorescent lamps, and integrated LED lamps), DOE proposes to reference them directly. For all other general service lamps, DOE proposes new test procedures in this rulemaking. For the new test procedures, DOE proposes to reference the most recent versions of relevant industry standards. 
In this section, DOE estimates the 
testing costs and burden associated with conducting testing according to the new 
test procedures proposed in this NOPR for general service lamps. DOE did not consider the costs and burdens associated with DOE test procedures that already exist or that have been proposed in other ongoing rulemakings because these have been or are being addressed separately. In this section, DOE assesses elements (testing methodology, testing times, and sample size) in the newly proposed test procedures that could affect costs associated with complying with this rule. The following is an analysis of both in-house and third party testing costs associated with this proposed rulemaking. 
DOE estimates that the labor costs 
associated with conducting in-house testing of initial lumen output, input power, and standby mode power is $41.68 per hour. DOE determined that calculating efficacy and power factor of a GSL would not result in any incremental testing burden beyond the cost of conducting the initial lumen output and input power testing. The cost of labor was then calculated by multiplying the estimated hours of labor by the hourly labor rate. For lamps not capable of operating in standby mode, DOE estimated that testing in-house in accordance with Appendix CC would require, at most, four hours per lamp by an electrical engineering technician. For lamps capable of operating in standby mode, DOE estimated that testing time would increase to five hours per lamp due to the additional standby mode power consumption test. DOE believes that these estimates are representative of the time it would take to test the most labor intensive technology, LED lamps. In total, DOE estimates that using the test method prescribed in this NOPR to determine initial light output and input power would result in an estimated labor burden of $1,670 per basic model of certain GSLs and $2,080 per basic model of certain GSLs that can operate in standby mode. 
Because NVLAP
1imposes a variety of 
fees during the accreditation process, including fixed administrative fees, variable assessment fees, and proficiency testing fees, DOE included the costs associated with maintaining a NVLAP-accredited facility or a facility accredited by an organization recognized by NVLAP. In the first year, for manufacturers without NVLAP accreditation who choose to test in- house, DOE estimated manufacturers on 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:12 Mar 16, 2016 Jkt 238001 PO 00000 Frm 00005 Fmt 4701 Sfmt 4702 E:\FR\FM\17MRP3.SGM 17MRP3asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS14636 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 52 / Thursday, March 17, 2016 / Proposed Rules 
2NVLAP costs are fixed and were distributed 
based on an estimate of 28 basic models per 
manufacturer. average would experience a maximum 
total cost burden of about $2,210 per basic model tested or $2,630 per basic model with standby mode power consumption testing.
2 
Additionally, DOE requested pricing 
from independent testing laboratories for testing GSLs. DOE estimated the cost for testing at an independent laboratory to be up to $1,070 per basic model. This estimate includes the cost of accreditation as quotes were obtained from accredited laboratories. 
DOE notes that its proposed test 
procedures directly reference existing 
industry standards that have been approved for widespread use by lamp manufacturers and test laboratories. The quantities that are directly measured, namely initial lumen output and input power, are commonly reported by the manufacturer on product packaging and on product specification sheets. Thus, testing for these quantities is already being conducted. Additionally, these quantities are required to be reported to ENERGY STAR if manufacturers certify the lamps as meeting the program requirements. Standby mode power consumption is also a reported quantity for the ENERGY STAR program, though it may not be a commonly reported value for lamps that are not certified with ENERGY STAR. In reviewing the lamps for which DOE is proposing new test procedures in this rulemaking, DOE notes that very few products can operate in standby mode and therefore very few products would be required to make representations of standby mode energy consumption according to the test procedures proposed in this rulemaking. Although DOE has proposed to require that all testing be conducted in accredited laboratories, DOE believes that many manufacturers of these products have already accredited their own in-house laboratories because they also make products such as general service incandescent lamps and medium base compact fluorescent lamps that are required to be tested in similarly accredited laboratories. 
The final cost per manufacturer 
primarily depends on the number of basic models the manufacturer sells. These are not annual costs because DOE does not require manufacturers to retest a basic model annually. The initial test results used to generate a certified rating for a basic model remain valid as long as the basic model has not been modified from the tested design in a way that makes it less efficient or more consumptive, which would require a change to the certified rating. If a 
manufacturer has modified a basic model in a way that makes it more efficient or less consumptive, new testing is required only if the manufacturer wishes to make representations of the new, more efficient rating. 
For the reasons described in this 
section, DOE tentatively concludes and certifies that the new proposed test procedures would not have a ‘‘significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities,’’ and the preparation of an IRFA is not warranted. DOE will transmit the certification and supporting statement of factual basis to the Chief Counsel for 
Advocacy of the SBA for review under 5 U.S.C. 605(b). 
C. Review Under the Paperwork 
Reduction Act of 1995 
DOE established regulations for the 
certification and recordkeeping requirements for certain covered consumer products and commercial equipment. 10 CFR part 429, subpart B. This collection-of-information requirement was approved by OMB under OMB control number 1910–1400. 
DOE requested OMB approval of an 
extension of this information collection for three years, specifically including the collection of information proposed in the present rulemaking, and estimated that the annual number of burden hours under this extension is 30 hours per company. In response to DOE’s request, OMB approved DOE’s information collection requirements covered under OMB control number 1910–1400 through November 30, 2017. 80 FR 5099 (January 30, 2015). 
Notwithstanding any other provision 
of the law, no person is required to respond to, nor must any person be subject to a penalty for failure to comply with, a collection of information subject to the requirements of the PRA, unless that collection of information displays a currently valid OMB control number. 
D. Review Under the National 
Environmental Policy Act of 1969 
In this proposed rule, DOE proposes 
test procedures for certain categories of GSLs that will be used to support the ongoing GSL standards rulemaking. DOE has determined that this rule falls into a class of actions that are categorically excluded from review under the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (42 U.S.C. 4321 et seq.) and DOE’s implementing regulations at 10 CFR part 1021. Specifically, this proposed rule adopts existing industry test procedures for certain categories of general service lamps, so it will not affect the amount, 
quality or distribution of energy usage, and, therefore, will not result in any environmental impacts. Thus, this rulemaking is covered by Categorical Exclusion A5 under 10 CFR part 1021, subpart D. Accordingly, neither an environmental assessment nor an environmental impact statement is required. 
E. Review Under Executive Order 13132 
Executive Order 13132, ‘‘Federalism,’’ 
64 FR 43255 (Aug. 4, 1999), imposes 
certain requirements on agencies formulating and implementing policies or regulations that preempt State law or that have Federalism implications. The Executive Order requires agencies to examine the constitutional and statutory authority supporting any action that would limit the policymaking discretion of the States and to carefully assess the necessity for such actions. The Executive Order also requires agencies to have an accountable process to ensure meaningful and timely input by State and local officials in the development of regulatory policies that have Federalism implications. On March 14, 2000, DOE published a statement of policy describing the intergovernmental consultation process it will follow in the development of such regulations. 65 FR 13735. DOE has examined this proposed rule and has determined that it would not have a substantial direct effect on the States, on the relationship between the national government and the States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government. EPCA governs and prescribes Federal preemption of State 
regulations as to energy conservation for the products that are the subject of this proposed rule. States can petition DOE for exemption from such preemption to the extent, and based on criteria, set forth in EPCA. (42 U.S.C. 6297(d)) No further action is required by Executive Order 13132. 
F. Review Under Executive Order 12988 
Regarding the review of existing 
regulations and the promulgation of 
new regulations, section 3(a) of Executive Order 12988, ‘‘Civil Justice Reform,’’ 61 FR 4729 (Feb. 7, 1996), imposes on Federal agencies the general duty to adhere to the following requirements: (1) Eliminate drafting errors and ambiguity; (2) write regulations to minimize litigation; (3) provide a clear legal standard for affected conduct rather than a general standard; and (4) promote simplification and burden reduction. Section 3(b) of Executive Order 12988 specifically

requires that Executive agencies make 
every reasonable effort to ensure that the regulation: (1) Clearly specifies the preemptive effect, if any; (2) clearly specifies any effect on existing Federal law or regulation; (3) provides a clear legal standard for affected conduct while promoting simplification and burden reduction; (4) specifies the retroactive effect, if any; (5) adequately defines key terms; and (6) addresses other important issues affecting clarity and general draftsmanship under any guidelines issued by the Attorney General. Section 3(c) of Executive Order 12988 requires Executive agencies to review regulations in light of applicable standards in sections 3(a) and 3(b) to determine whether they are met or it is unreasonable to meet one or more of them. DOE has completed the required review and determined that, to the extent permitted by law, the proposed rule meets the relevant standards of Executive Order 12988. 
G. Review Under the Unfunded 
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 
Title II of the Unfunded Mandates 
Reform Act of 1995 (UMRA) requires each Federal agency to assess the effects of Federal regulatory actions on State, local, and Tribal governments and the private sector. Public Law 104–4, sec. 201 (codified at 2 U.S.C. 1531). For a proposed regulatory action likely to result in a rule that may cause the expenditure by State, local, and Tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector of $100 million or more in any one year (adjusted annually for inflation), section 202 of UMRA requires a Federal agency to publish a written statement that estimates the resulting costs, benefits, and other effects on the national economy. (2 U.S.C. 1532(a), (b)) The UMRA also requires a Federal agency to develop an effective process to permit timely input by elected officers of State, local, and Tribal governments on a proposed ‘‘significant intergovernmental mandate,’’ and requires an agency plan for giving notice and opportunity for timely input to potentially affected small governments before establishing any requirements that might significantly or uniquely affect small governments. On March 18, 1997, DOE published a statement of policy on its process for intergovernmental consultation under UMRA. 62 FR 12820; also available at http://energy.gov/gc/office-general- counsel. DOE examined this proposed 
rule according to UMRA and its 
statement of policy, and DOE determined that the rule contains neither an intergovernmental mandate nor a mandate that may result in the expenditure of $100 million or more in any year, so these requirements do not apply. 
H. Review Under the Treasury and 
General Government Appropriations Act, 1999 
Section 654 of the Treasury and 
General Government Appropriations Act, 1999, (Pub. L. 105–277) requires Federal agencies to issue a Family Policymaking Assessment for any rule that may affect family well-being. This rule would not have any impact on the autonomy or integrity of the family as an institution. Accordingly, DOE has concluded that it is not necessary to prepare a Family Policymaking Assessment. 
I. Review Under Executive Order 12630 
DOE has determined, under Executive 
Order 12630, ‘‘Governmental Actions 
and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property Rights,’’ 53 FR 8859 (March 18, 1988) that this regulation would not result in any takings that might require compensation under the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. 
J. Review Under the Treasury and 
General Government Appropriations Act, 2001 
Section 515 of the Treasury and 
General Government Appropriations Act, 2001, (44 U.S.C. 3516 note) provides for agencies to review most disseminations of information to the public under guidelines established by each agency pursuant to general guidelines issued by OMB. OMB’s guidelines were published at 67 FR 8452 (Feb. 22, 2002), and DOE’s guidelines were published at 67 FR 62446 (Oct. 7, 2002). DOE has reviewed this proposed rule under the OMB and DOE guidelines, and has concluded that it is consistent with applicable policies in those guidelines. 
K. Review Under Executive Order 13211 
Executive Order 13211, ‘‘Actions 
Concerning Regulations That 
Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use,’’ 66 FR 28355 (May 22, 2001), requires Federal agencies to prepare and submit to OMB a Statement of Energy Effects for any proposed significant energy action. A ‘‘significant energy action’’ is defined as any action by an agency that promulgated or is expected to lead to promulgation of a final rule, and that: (1) Is a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866, or any successor order; and (2) is likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy; or (3) is designated by the Administrator of OIRA as a significant energy action. For any proposed significant energy action, the agency must give a detailed statement of any adverse effects on energy supply, distribution, or use should the proposal be implemented, and of reasonable alternatives to the action and their expected benefits on energy supply, distribution, and use. 
This regulatory action to propose test 
procedures for certain categories of GSLs is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866. Moreover, it would not have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy, nor has it been designated as a significant energy action by the Administrator of OIRA. Therefore, it is not a significant energy action, and, accordingly, DOE has not prepared a Statement of Energy Effects. 
L. Review Under Section 32 of the 
Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974 
Under section 301 of the Department 
of Energy Organization Act (Pub. L. 95– 91; 42 U.S.C. 7101), DOE must comply with section 32 of the Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974, as amended by the Federal Energy Administration Authorization Act of 1977. (15 U.S.C. 788; FEAA) Section 32 essentially provides in relevant part that, where a proposed rule authorizes or requires use of commercial standards, the notice of proposed rulemaking must inform the public of the use and background of such standards. In addition, section 32(c) requires DOE to consult with the Attorney General and the Chairman of the FTC concerning the impact of the commercial or industry standards on competition. 
The proposed test procedures 
incorporate testing methods contained in the following commercial standards: 
(1) CIE S025, ‘‘International Standard: 
Test Method for LED Lamps, LED Luminaires and LED Modules,’’ 2015; 
(2) IES LM–45–15, ‘‘IES Approved 
Method for the Electrical and Photometric Measurement of General Service Incandescent Filament Lamps,’’ 2015; 
(3) IES LM–20–13, ‘‘IES Approved 
Method for Photometry of Reflector Type Lamps,’’ 2013; 
(4) IES LM–79–08, ‘‘Approved 
Method: Electrical and Photometric Measurements of Solid-State Lighting Products,’’ 2008; 
(5) IES LM–9–09, ‘‘IES Approved 
Method for the Electrical and Photometric Measurement of Fluorescent Lamps,’’ 2009; and 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:12 Mar 16, 2016 Jkt 238001 PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4701 Sfmt 4702 E:\FR\FM\17MRP3.SGM 17MRP3asabaliauskas on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS14638 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 52 / Thursday, March 17, 2016 / Proposed Rules 
(6) IEC Standard 62301 (Edition 2.0), 
‘‘Household electrical appliances— 
Measurement of standby power,’’ 2011. 
DOE has evaluated these standards 
and is unable to conclude whether they fully comply with the requirements of section 32(b) of the FEAA (i.e., that they 
were developed in a manner that fully provides for public participation, comment, and review). DOE will consult with the Attorney General and the Chairman of the FTC concerning the impact of these test procedures on competition, prior to prescribing a final rule. 
M. Description of Materials Proposed To 
Be Incorporated by Reference 
In this NOPR, DOE proposes to 
incorporate by reference the test standard published by CIE, titled ‘‘International Standard: Test Method for LED Lamps, LED Luminaires and LED Modules,’’ CIE S025. CIE S025 is an internationally accepted test standard that specifies test procedures for measuring electrical and photometric characteristics of LED lamps, LED luminaires, and LED modules.

Appendix CC to Subpart B of Part 430— 
Uniform Test Method for Measuring the Energy Consumption and Energy Efficiency of General Service Lamps That Are Not General Service Incandescent Lamps, Compact Fluorescent Lamps, or Integrated LED Lamps. 
Note: On or after [DATE 180 DAYS AFTER 
DATE OF PUBLICATION OF THE FINAL 
RULE IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER], any representations, including certifications of compliance (if required), made with respect to the energy use or efficiency of general service lamps that are not general service incandescent lamps, compact fluorescent lamps, or integrated LED lamps must be made in accordance with the results of testing pursuant to this appendix. 1. Scope: This appendix specifies the test 
methods required to measure the initial 
lumen output, input power, lamp efficacy, power factor, and standby mode energy consumption of general service lamps that are not general service incandescent lamps, compact fluorescent lamps, or integrated LED lamps. 
2. Definitions 
Measured initial input power means the 
input power to the lamp, measured after the 
lamp is stabilized and seasoned (if applicable), and expressed in watts (W). 
Measured initial lumen output means the 
lumen output of the lamp measured after the lamp is stabilized and seasoned (if applicable), and expressed in lumens (lm). 
Power factor means the measured initial 
input power (watts) divided by the product of the input voltage (volts) and the input current (amps) measured at the same time as the initial input power. 
3. Active Mode Test Procedures 
3.1. Take measurements at full light 
output. 
3.2. Do not use a goniophotometer. 
3.3. Operate the lamp at the rated voltage 
throughout testing. For lamps with multiple rated voltages including 120 volts, operate the lamp at 120 volts. If a lamp is not rated for 120 volts, operate the lamp at the highest rated input voltage. 
3.4. Operate the lamp at the maximum 
input power. If multiple modes occur at the 
same maximum input power (such as variable CCT or CRI), the manufacturer may select any of these modes for testing; however, all measurements must be taken at the same selected mode. The manufacturer must indicate in the test report which mode was selected for testing and include detail such that another laboratory could operate the lamp in the same mode. 
3.5. To measure initial lumen output, input 
power, input voltage, and input current use the test procedures in the table in this section. 
TABLE 3.1—R EFERENCES TO INDUSTRY STANDARD TESTPROCEDURES

3.6. Determine initial lamp efficacy by 
dividing the measured initial lumen output 
(lumens) by the measured initial input power (watts). 
3.7. Determine power factor by dividing 
the measured initial input power (watts) by the product of the measured input voltage (volts) and measured input current (amps). 
4. Standby Mode Test Procedure 
4.1. Measure standby mode power only for 
lamps that are capable of standby mode 
operation. 4.2. Connect the lamp to the manufacturer- 
specified wireless control network (if 
applicable) and configure the lamp in standby mode by sending a signal to the lamp instructing it to have zero light output. Lamp must remain connected to the network throughout testing. 
4.3. Operate the lamp at the rated voltage 
throughout testing. For lamps with multiple 
rated voltages including 120 volts, operate the lamp at 120 volts. If a lamp is not rated for 120 volts, operate the lamp at the highest rated input voltage. 4.4. Stabilize the lamp prior to 
measurement as specified in section 5.0 of 
IEC 62301 (incorporated by reference; see § 430.3). 
4.5. Measure the standby mode power in 
watts as specified in section 5 of IEC 62301 (incorporated by reference; see § 430.3).
