SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Committee will provide advice and 

recommendations to the Secretary of 

Energy on the DOE’s Appliance and 

Equipment Standards Program’s test 

procedures and rulemaking 

determinations. The Committee’s scope 

is to review and make recommendations 

on the: (1) Development of minimum 

efficiency standards for residential 

appliances and commercial equipment, 

(2) development of product test 

procedures, (3) certification and 

enforcement of standards, (4) labeling 

for various residential products and 

commercial equipment, and (5) specific 

issues of concern to DOE as requested 

by the Secretary of Energy, the Assistant 

Secretary for Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, and the Buildings 

Technologies Office’s Director. 

To facilitate the functioning of the 

Committee, working groups (i.e., 

subcommittees) may be formed with the 

approval of the Department of Energy. 

The objectives of the working groups are 

to make recommendations to the parent 

committee with respect to particular 

matters related to the responsibilities of 

the parent committee. Such working 

groups may not work independently of 

the chartered committee and must 

report their recommendations and 

advice to the full committee for full 

deliberation and discussion. 

Subcommittee members are appointed 

with DOE approval. 

DOE is hereby soliciting nominations 

for members of the Appliance Standards 

and Rulemaking Federal Advisory 

Committee. The Committee is expected 

to be continuing in nature. Members 

will be selected with a view toward 

achieving a balanced committee of 

experts in fields relevant to energy 

efficiency, appliance and commercial 

equipment standards to include DOE, as 

well as representatives of industry 

(including manufacturers and trade 

associations representing 

manufacturers, component 

manufacturers and related suppliers, 

and retailers), utilities, energy 

efficiency/environmental advocacy 

groups and consumers. Committee 

members will serve for a term of three 

years or less and may be reappointed for 

successive terms, with no more than 

two successive terms. Appointments 

may be made in a manner that allows 

the terms of the members serving at any 

time to expire at spaced intervals, so as 

to ensure continuity in the functioning 

of the Committee. Some Committee 

members may be appointed as special 

Government employees, experts in 

fields relevant to energy efficiency and 

appliance and commercial equipment 

standards; or as representatives of 

industry (including manufacturers and 

trade associations representing 

manufacturers, component 

manufacturers and related suppliers, 

and retailers), utilities, energy 

efficiency/environmental advocacy 

groups and consumers. Special 

Government employees will be subject 

to certain ethical restrictions and such 

members will be required to submit 

certain information in connection with 

the appointment process. 

Members of the Committee will serve 

without compensation; however, each 

member may be reimbursed in 

accordance with Federal Travel 

Regulations for authorized travel and 

per diem expenses incurred while 

attending Committee meetings. 

Process and Deadline for Submitting 

Nominations: Qualified individuals can 

self-nominate or be nominated by any 

individual or organization. Nominators 

should submit: 

1. The nominee’s current resume or 

curriculum vitae and contact 

information, including mailing address, 

email address, and telephone number; 

2. A letter of interest, including a 

summary of how the nominee’s 

experience and expertise would support 

the Committee’s objectives; and 

3. An affirmative statement that: (a) 

The nominee is not currently a

the time of appointment and during his/ 

her tenure as a Committee member, or 

(b) if the nominee is currently a 

federally- registered lobbyist, that the 

nominee will no longer be a federallyregistered lobbyist at the time of

during his/her tenure as a member. 

All nomination information should be 

provided in a single, complete package 

by the deadline specified in this notice. 

Nominations packages should be 

submitted by either mail or 

electronically, but not by both methods. 

Should more information be needed, 

DOE staff will contact the nominee, 

obtain information from the nominee’s 

past affiliations or obtain information 

from publicly available sources, such as 

the internet. A selection team will 

review the nomination packages. This 

team will be comprised of 

representatives from several DOE 

Offices. The selection team will seek 

balanced viewpoints and consider many 

criteria, including: (a) Scientific or 

technical expertise, knowledge, and 

experience; (b) stakeholder 

representation; (c) availability and 

willingness to serve; and (d) skills 

working in committees, working groups 

and advisory panels. The selection team 

will make recommendations regarding 

membership to the Secretary of Energy 

for review and selection of Committee 

members. 

Nominations are open to all 

individuals without regard to race, 

color, religion, sex, national origin, age, 

mental or physical handicap, marital 

status, or sexual orientation. To ensure 

that recommendations to the Committee 

take into account the needs of the 

diverse groups served by DOE, 

membership shall include, to the extent 

practicable, individuals with 

demonstrated ability to represent the 

needs of women and men of all racial 

and ethnic groups, and persons with 

disabilities. Please note, however, that 

Federally-registered lobbyists and 

individuals already serving on another 

Federal advisory committee are 

ineligible for nomination.
