SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

August 30 1983, DOE issued a Final

Rule (48 FR 39376) with respect to

refrigerators and refrigerator-freezers,

freezers, water heaters, room air

conditioners, central air conditioners

and furnaces. For each of these

products, except central air

conditioners, DOE determined that an

energy efficiency standard would not

result in a significant conservation of

energy and would not be economically

justified. With respect to central air

conditioners, DOE found that an energy

efficiency standard would result in

significant conservation of energy but

would not be economically justified. In

an earlier Final Rule (47 FR 57198),

published on December 22, 1982, DOE

set forth the procedures by which States

may obtain exemption for State or local

efficiency standards that are statutorily

preempted as a result of a final rule with

respect to energy efficiency standards.

A State may submit a notice of petition

within 60 days after publication of a

final standard and a complete petition

within 120 days after publication of such

a final standard. The deadline for -

submitting a notice of petition in regard

to any of the six products was before

October 31,1983. The deadline for

submitting a full petition is before

December 28, 1983.

After this time period, any State may

of course submit a petition for

exemption; however, the State or local

standard could not be in effect until

DOE granted the State's petition.

Issued in Washington. D.C., December 16,

1983.
