  SUMMARY: The Energy Policy and Conser vation Act , as amended  ("EPCA"), prescribes energy 
conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial 
equipment, including consumer conventional cooking products. 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 wo uld result in significant energy savings. 
In this supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking ("SNOPR''), DOE proposes new and amended 
energy conservation standards for consumer conventional cooking products, and also announces a 
public meeting to receive c omment on these proposed standards and associated analyses and 
results.  
DATES: Meeting: DOE will hold a public meeting via webinar on Tuesday, 31 January 2023, from 
1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.  Eastern Time . See section VII of this document, "Public Participation," for 
webinar registration information, participant instructions, and information about the capabilities 
available to webinar participants.  
Comments: DOE will accept comments, data, and information regarding this SNOPR no later than 3 
April 2023. Comments regarding the likely competitive impact of the proposed standard should be 
sent to the Depar tment of Justice contact listed in the ADDRESSES section on or before 3 March 
2023.  
This supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking and announcement of public meeting and previous 
actions notified under the symbol G/TBT/N/USA/998  are identified by Docket Number EERE -2014-
BT-STD-0005. The Docket Folder is available on Regulations.gov at
