SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Agenda is a government-wide compilation of upcoming and 

ongoing regulatory activity, including a brief description of each rulemaking and a timetable for action. 

The Agenda also includes a list of regulatory actions completed since publication of the last Agenda. The 

Department of Energy’s portion of the Agenda includes regulatory actions called for by the Energy Policy 

Act of 2005, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, and programmatic needs of DOE 

offices. 

 The Internet is the basic means for disseminating the Agenda and providing users the ability to obtain 

information from the Agenda database. DOE’s entire fall 2010 Agenda can be accessed online by going 

to: www.reginfo.gov. Agenda entries reflect the status of activities as of approximately November 30, 

2010. 

 Publication in the Federal Register is mandated by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602) only 

for Agenda entries that require either a regulatory flexibility analysis or periodic review under section 610 

of that Act. Included in this Agenda are two rulemakings: (1) Energy Efficiency Standards for Pool 

Heaters and Direct Heating and equipment and Water Heaters; and (2) Energy Efficiency Standards for 

Certain Commercial and Industrial Electric Motors. 

 The Plan appears in both the online Agenda and the Federal Register and includes the most 

important of DOE’s significant regulatory actions and a Statement of Regulatory and Deregulatory 

Priorities.

Title: Coordination of Federal Authorizations for Siting of Electric Transmission Facilities

Abstract: Subsection 216(h) of the Federal Power Act (FPA) requires DOE to act as lead agency for purposes of coordinating

all applicable Federal authorizations and related environmental reviews as may be required under Federal law in order to site

transmission facilities. Subsection 216(h)(7)(A) further authorizes DOE to issue any regulations necessary to implement the

provisions of section 1221(a) of Energy Policy Act of 2005 and FPA 216, including provisions providing for pre-application

mechanisms to facilitate streamlining applicable Federal authorizations. Pursuant to this authority, DOE intends to promulgate

regulations to facilitate the coordination of such permits, special use authorizations, certifications, opinions, or other approvals

necessary to site transmission facilities. DOE notes that it has delegated to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission certain

of the DOE's authorities under FPA section 216(h) and that the Commission has promulgated regulations concerning how it will

carry out that authority. 71 FR 69440.

Title: Radiation Protection of the Public and the Environment

Abstract: This action adds a new 10 CFR 834 to DOE's regulations establishing a body of rules setting forth the basic

requirements for ensuring radiation protection of the public and environment in connection with DOE nuclear activities. These

requirements stem from the Department's ongoing effort to strengthen the protection of health, safety, and the environment from

Regulations.gov Monday, December 20, 2010 Unified Agenda

the nuclear and chemical hazards posed by these DOE activities. Major elements of this action include a dose limitation system

for protection of the public; requirements for application optimization (As Low As is Reasonably Achievable, ALARA) process;

requirements for liquid discharges; reporting and monitoring requirements; and residual radioactive material requirements.

Additional Information: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering revising the Federal Guidance for

Radiation Protection of the Public. This Presidential-level guidance would refine the radiation protection and dose limitation

framework for the public, and may include numerical Radiation Protection Goals (i.e., dose limits). Because it is DOE's

preference to be consistent with Federal radiation protection policy, the Department is adjusting the schedule for part 834 in

anticipation of revised Federal Guidance and will issue the rule following EPA action on the guidance. This will allow DOE to be

consistent with the most current Presidential-level guidance upon its release. EPA's schedule for issuing the Federal Guidelines

is currently tentative; therefore, DOE cannot project a date for the next action on this rulemaking.

Title: Price Competitive Sale of Strategic Petroleum Reserve Petroleum; Standard

Abstract: On December 21, 1983, DOE published in the Federal Register a final rule which governs the price competitive

sales of petroleum from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) in the event that the SPR is drawn down to respond to a severe

energy supply interruption or to meet obligations of the United States under the Agreement on an International Energy Program.

The final rule provides for the publication and periodic update, as an appendix to the rule, of Standard Sales Provisions (SSPs)

containing or describing contract clauses, terms and conditions of sale, and performance and financial responsibility measures,

which may be used for particular sales of SPR petroleum. First published in interim final form on January 20, 1984, the SSPs

have since been updated several times, with the latest version published in the Federal Register on July 7, 2005. As provided in

the rule, DOE has reviewed the current SSPs and made minor revisions.

Title: Energy Efficiency Standards for Electric Motors

Abstract: The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007) updated the energy efficiency standards for

electric motors covered in Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) and established energy efficiency standards for a larger

scope of motors previously not covered. EPCA requires that a final rule determining whether to amend standards be published

no later than 24 months after the effective date of the previous final rule. As EISA 2007 constitutes the previous amendment to

energy conservation standards for electric motors and its effective date is December 19, 2010, DOE must publish this

amendment to energy conservation standards for electric motors by December 19, 2012.

Regulatory Plan:

Statement of Need: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act requires minimum energy efficiency standards for appliances,

which has the effect of eliminating inefficient appliances from the market.

Legal Basis: Title III of EPCA sets forth a variety of provisions designed to improve energy efficiency. Part A of title III (42

U.S.C. 6291 to 6309) provides for the Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products other than Automobiles. EPCA

covers consumer products and certain commercial equipment, including clothes dryers and room are conditioners that are the

subject of the rulemaking (42 U.S.C. 6292(a)(2)-(8)). EPCA prescribes energy conservation standards for room air conditioners

(42 U.S.C. 6295(c)) and directs DOE to conduct two cycles of rulemaking to determine whether to adopt amended standards

(42 U.S.C. 6295(c)(3)(A)). For clothes dryers, EPCA sets a prescriptive requirement (42 U.S.C. 6294(g)(3)) and directs DOE to

conduct a cycle of rulemaking to determine whether to adopt amended standards (42 U.S.C. 6294(g)(4)). This rulemaking

represents the second and first round of amendments to the standards for room air conditioners and dryers respectively.

Alternatives: The statute requires DOE to conduct rulemakings to review standards and to revise standards to achieve the

maximum improvement in energy efficiency that the Secretary determines is a technologically feasible and economically

justified. In making this determination, DOE conducts a thorough analysis of the alternative standard levels, including the

existing standard, based on the criteria specified by the statute.

Costs and Benefits: Because DOE has not yet proposed candidate standard levels for these products, DOE cannot

provide an estimate of combine aggregate costs and benefits for these actions. DOE will, however, in compliance with all

applicable law, issue standards that provide the maximum energy savings that are technologically feasibly and economically

justified. Estimates of energy savings will be provided when DOE issues the notices of proposed rulemaking for this equipment.

Amendments expanded title III of EPCA to include certain commercial and industrial equipment. (42 U.S.C. 6292(3)) The

National Appliance Energy Conservation Act of 1987 (NAECA), Pub. L. 100–12, established energy conservation standards for

central air conditioners and heat pumps as well as requirements for determining whether these standards should be amended.

NAECA also required that DOE conduct two cycles of rulemakings to determine if more stringent standards are economically

justified and technologically feasible. (42 U.S.C. 6295(d)(3)) On January 22, 2001, DOE published a final rule in the Federal

Register, which completed the first rulemaking cycle to amend energy conservation standards for residential central air

conditioners and heat pumps. 66 FR 7170. This rulemaking encompasses DOE’s second cycle of review to determine whether

the standards in effect for residential central air conditioners and heat pumps should be amended.

Regulatory Plan:

Statement of Need: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act requires minimum energy efficiency standards for appliances,

which has the effect of eliminating inefficient appliances and equipment from the market.

Legal Basis: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) of 1975 (42 U.S.C. 6291 to 6309) established an energy

conservation program for major household appliances. Amendments to EPCA in the National Appliance Energy Conservation

Amendments of 1988 (NAECA 1988) established energy conservation standards for fluorescent lamp ballasts. These

amendments also required that DOE (1) conduct two rulemaking cycles to determine whether these standards should be

amended and (2), for each rulemaking cycle, determine whether the standards in effect for fluorescent lamp ballasts should be

amended to apply to additional fluorescent lamp ballasts. (42 U.S.C. 6295(g)(7)(A)–(B)). On September 19, 2000, DOE

published a final rule in the Federal Register, which completed the first rulemaking cycle to amend energy conservation

standards for fluorescent lamp ballasts. 65 FR 56740. This rulemaking encompasses DOE’s second cycle of review to determine

whether the standards in effect for fluorescent lamp ballasts should be amended and whether the standards should be applicable

to additional fluorescent lamp ballasts.

Title: Test Procedures for Electric Motors

Abstract: Section 302 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act

to require that test procedures for all covered products (including electric motors) be reviewed at least once every seven years.

The test procedure for electric motors was originally bundled with the test procedure for small electric motors and the NPRM was

published on December 22, 2008 (73 FR 78220). In light of comments received in response to the bundled NPRM, DOE

changed its course with the electric motors test procedure. To ensure that the small electric motors test procedure would meet

its consent decree deadline, the electric motors test procedure was de-bundled and a Supplemental NPRM for the electric

motors test procedures will be issued.

Title: Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential Furnaces

Abstract: DOE published an energy conservation standard final rule for residential furnaces and boilers in the Federal

Register on November 19, 2007 (72 FR 65136). Petitioners challenged this final rule on several grounds. DOE filed a motion for

voluntary remand to allow the agency to consider: 1) The application of regional standards in additional to national standards for

furnaces, authorized by Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (enacted Dec. 19, 2007) and 2) the effect of alternative

standards on natural gas prices. This motion for voluntary remand was granted on April 21, 2009. DOE has initiated this

rulemaking to consider amended energy conservation standards for residential furnaces.

Regulatory Plan:

Statement of Need: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act requires minimum energy efficiency standards for appliances,

which has the effect of eliminating inefficient appliances and equipment from the market.

Legal Basis: Title III of EPCA sets forth a variety of provisions designed to improve energy efficiency. Part A of title III (42

U.S.C. 6291 to 6309) provides for the Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products other than Automobiles. The

program covers certain commercial and industrial equipment, including residential furnaces. (42 U.S.C. 6292(a)(5)) EPCA

prescribed the initial energy conservation standards for residential furnaces. (42 U.S.C. 6295(f)(1)–(2)) The statute further

provides DOE with the authority to conduct rulemakings to determine whether to amend these standards. (42 U.S.C.

6295(f)(4)).

Alternatives: The statute requires DOE to conduct rulemakings to review standards and to revise standards to achieve the

maximum improvement in energy efficiency that the Secretary determines is technologically feasible and economically justified.

In making this determination, DOE conducts a thorough analysis of the alternative standard levels, including the existing

standard, based on the criteria specified by the statute.

Costs and Benefits: Because DOE has not yet proposed candidate standard levels for this equipment, DOE cannot

provide an estimate of combined aggregate costs and benefits for these actions. DOE will, however, in compliance with all

applicable law, issue standards that provide the maximum energy savings that are technologically feasible and economically

Title: Energy Efficiency Standards for Microwave Ovens (Standby and Off Mode)

Abstract: DOE published a NPRM for microwave ovens on October 17, 2008 (73 FR 62034), and a final rule on April 8,

2009 (74 FR 16040). In the NPRM, DOE proposed establishing energy conservation standards for standby mode and off mode.

The April 2009 final rule did not contain standards for microwave ovens in these modes because a revised test procedure for

microwave ovens was not finalized. DOE is continuing the microwave oven test procedure rulemaking and is revisiting the

energy conservation standard rulemaking to consider whether standards for microwaves ovens in standby-mode and off-mode

are technologically feasible and economically justified.

Title: Energy Efficiency Standards for Incandescent Reflector Lamps

Abstract: Amendments to Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007

(EISA) amended the energy conservation standards to extend coverage to certain classes of IRL that had previously been

outside the statutory definition of "incandescent reflector lamp" although these lamps were excluded from the statutory standard

levels. However, EISA 2007 authorized DOE to amend these standards if such amendments were warranted. Specifically, as

amended, EPCA exempted certain small diameter, ellipsoidal reflector (ER) and bulged reflector (BR) lamps from standards. In

June 2009, DOE published a final rule amending existing standards for IRL. In earlier stages of the June 2009 rulemaking, DOE

had interpreted its authority with regard to IRL as limited to amending congressionally established standard levels only, and not

to the exemptions set by Congress for certain explicitly identified small diameter, ER and BR lamps, commonly used in track

lighting and recessed cans. On further review, DOE has concluded that DOE has authority to establish efficiency standards for

these currently exempt small diameter ER and BR lamps. However, as a practical matter, DOE could not consider these lamps

as part of the previous rulemaking because it had not conducted the requisite analyses to set appropriate standard levels.

Regulations.gov Monday, December 20, 2010 Unified Agenda

27
Pursuant to EPCA, DOE is now conducting a rulemaking as to energy conservation standards for certain incandescent reflector

lamps (IRL) that have ER or BR bulb shapes, and for certain IRL with diameters less than 2.25 inches.

Title: Test Procedures for Residential Furnace Fans

Abstract: DOE is initiating its first rulemaking to consider new energy conservation standards or energy use standards for

purposes of circulating air through duct work, as required under 42 U.S.C. 6295(f)(4)(D). DOE commonly refers to these

products as furnace fans. EPCA directs DOE to establish test procedures in conjunction with energy conservation standards for

furnace fans(42 U.S.C. 6295(r)). To fulfill this requirement, DOE is simultaneously initiating a test procedure rulemaking for

furnace fans in addition to the conservation standards rulemaking, which must be completed by December 31, 2013. DOE’s test

procedure is intended to provide an efficiency descriptor and the methods necessary to adequately measure the performance of

the furnace fan for the purposes of developing energy conservation standards.

Title: Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential Refrigerators, Refrigerator-Freezers, and Freezers

Abstract: The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 amended the Energy Policy and Conservation Act and directed

the Secretary to issue a final rule to determine whether to amend the standards for refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, and

freezers. The final rule will contain any amended standards.

Priority: Economically Significant Agenda Stage of

Other Statutory 12/31/2010 

Regulatory Plan:

Statement of Need: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act requires minimum energy efficiency standards for appliances,

which has the effect of eliminating inefficient appliances and equipment from the market.

Regulations.gov Monday, December 20, 2010 Unified Agenda

35
Legal Basis: Title III of EPCA sets forth a variety of provisions designed to improve energy efficiency. Part A of title III (42

U.S.C. 6291 to 6309) provides for the Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products other than Automobiles. EPCA

covers consumer products and certain commercial equipment, including the types of refrigeration products that are the subject

of this rulemaking. (42 U.S.C. 6292(a)(1)) EPCA prescribes energy conservation standards for these products (42 U.S.C.

6295(b)(1)-(2)) and directs DOE to conduct three cycles of rulemakings to determine whether to adopt amended standards. (42

U.S.C. 6295(b)(3)(A)(i), (b)(3)(B)-(C), and (b)(4)) This rulemaking represents the third round of amendments to the standards for

refrigeration products.

Alternatives: The statute requires DOE to conduct rulemakings to review standards and to revise standards to achieve the

maximum improvement in energy efficiency that the Secretary determines is technologically feasible and economically justified.

In making this determination, DOE conducts a thorough analysis of the alternative standard levels, including the existing

standard, based on the criteria specified by the statute

Costs and Benefits: DOE believes that the benefits to the Nation of the proposed energy standards for residential

refrigerators and freezers (energy savings, consumer average lifecycle cost (LCC) savings, national net present value (NPV)

increase, and emission reductions) outweigh the burdens (loss of INPV and LCC increases for some small electric motor

users). DOE estimates that energy savings from electricity will be 4.5 quads over 30 years and the benefit to the Nation will be

between $2.56 billion and $18.80 billion.

Title: Certification, Compliance, and Enforcement for Consumer Products and Commercial and Industrial Equipment

Abstract: DOE is conducting a rulemaking to review, revise, and expand its existing certification, compliance, and

enforcement regulations for certain consumer products and commercial and industrial equipment covered under the Energy

Policy and Conservation Act of 1975, as amended. These regulations provide for sampling plans used in determining

compliance with existing standards, manufacturer submission of compliance statements and certification reports to DOE,

maintenance of compliance records by manufacturers, and the availability of enforcement actions for improper certification or

noncompliance with an applicable standard. Ultimately, DOE believes the provisions developed in this rulemaking to

systematically enforce applicable energy and water conservation standards for covered products and covered equipment and

provide for more accurate, comprehensive information about the energy and water use characteristics of products sold in the

United States.

Title: Test Procedure Waiver Requirements for Manufacturers of Consumer Products and Certain Industrial Equipment, and

Additional Prohibited Acts

Abstract: Since DOE codified test procedures for consumer products and certain industrial products, some products have

been introduced that the test procedures do not clearly address. Currently, manufacturers can petition DOE for a waiver when

the manufacturer believes the test procedure does not evaluate the product in a manner that reflects the product's true energy

consumption. This rule will establish a methodology for ensuring compliance with applicable test procedures where there is no

waiver in effect.

Title: Protective Force Personnel Medical, Physical Fitness, Training, and Access Authorization Standards

Abstract: These amendments ensure that DOE Protective Force (PF) medical and fitness requirements are consistent with

the Privacy Act and 10 CFR part 1008, and with policy changes made since the publication of the last version of this rule. The

amendments also ensure that PF personnel are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and only on their ability to perform the

essential functions of their positions without posing a direct threat to themselves or others, the facility, or the general public. The

amendments further ensure that reasonable accommodations are considered before there is a determination that an individual

cannot perform the essential functions of a particular position. Finally, the amendments provide new medical review processes

that are available to provide for due process should PF personnel be disqualified from medical certification. Additionally, the title

"Physical Protection of Security Interests" has been revised as "Protective Force Personnel Medical, Physical Fitness, Training,

and Access Authorization Standards" to more accurately reflect the contents.

Title: Occupational Radiation Protection

Abstract: This action would amend 10 CFR part 835, Occupational Radiation Protection, to update appendix D, Surface

Contamination Values, to be consistent with the values in DOE's environmental requirements. DOE is also considering replacing

the tables of tissue weighting factors and radiation weighting factors with a requirement to use the comparable tables from DOE

Guide 441.1-1C, Radiation Protection Programs Guide for Use with title 10, Code of Federal Regulations, part 835,

Occupational Radiation Protection. While the tables in the guide are identical to those currently in 10 CFR part 835, this change

will expedite any future revisions needed to the two tables. DOE is also considering reducing the annual whole body dose limit

from 5 rems per year to 2 rems per year to be consistent with international consensus standards.
