Energy Conservation Program for Commercial and Industrial 
Equipment: Energy Conservation Standards for Distribution Transformers

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of 
Energy.

ACTION: Advance notice of proposed rulemaking; notice of availability 
of a supplemental technical support document appendix, and correction.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In conjunction with an earlier advance notice of proposed 
rulemaking (ANOPR) to establish energy conservation standards for 
distribution transformers, DOE announces the availability of a 
supplemental technical support document (TSD) appendix. DOE has also 
identified a mislabeling found in the ANOPR.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As indicated at the public meeting on 
September 28, 2004, the Department of Energy (DOE) announces the 
availability of a supplemental TSD appendix entitled, ``Appendix 8E: 
Average Transformer Design Properties from Life-Cycle Cost Model.'' 
This appendix provides information for the public to consider in 
connection with the July 29, 2004, ANOPR (69 FR 45375).
    DOE has also identified a mislabeling found in the ANOPR on pages 
45401 through 45404 and in Chapter 8 of the TSD on pages 8-38 through 
8-43. On these pages, the text mistakenly labels some reported values 
as an ``average manufacturer's selling price'' when they should be 
referred to as the ``consumer equipment cost before installation.'' 
This mislabeling does not impact the inputs, results, or any other 
aspect of the ANOPR.

    Stakeholders can locate and download the TSD Chapter 8 as well as 
the newly posted supplemental Appendix 8E on the Distribution 
Transformers ANOPR TSD page: http://www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/appliance_standards/commercial/dist_trans_tsd_061404.html.
