U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 

PUBLIC MEETING ON TEST PROCEDURES FOR GENERAL SERVICE 

FLUORESCENT LAMPS, INCANDESCENT REFLECTOR LAMPS, AND 

GENERAL SERVICE INCANDESCENT LAMPS 

AND 

ENERGY CONSERVATION STANDARDS FOR 

GENERAL SERVICE FLUORESCENT LAMPS AND INCANDESCENT 

REFLECTOR LAMPS 

Room 8E-089 

1000 Independence Avenue, SW 

Washington, DC 20585 

March 10-11, 2008

Purpose 

The Department of Energy (DOE) will present its methodology, analysis, and some example 

results for the Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANOPR) regarding Energy 

Conservation Standards for General Service Fluorescent Lamps and Incandescent Reflector 

Lamps. DOE will also present its analysis for the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) 

regarding Test Procedures for these and other lamp types. DOE will also explain its plans for 

the remaining analysis—the analysis to support the NOPR for Energy Conservation 

Standards—and will seek input from stakeholders on its planned methodologies, assumptions, 

and data sources.
