1:00 pm - 4:00 pm Discussion Questions (Dan Reicher)

Including:

If you believe DOE should proceed with standards for ballasts,

what findings are most important to consider to support that

conclusion?

If you believe DOE should conclude that further standards for

ballasts are not warranted, what findings are most important to

consider to support that conclusion?

® If DOE concludes further standards are not justified, what steps

could the Department take to support and increase the market

demand for electronic ballasts?

® If DOE decides to proceed with electronic standards , what can be

done to minimize the impacts on manufacturers, e.g., timing,

levels and exemptions to lessen the burdens?
