## Metal Halide Lamp Ballast Test Procedure NOPR The Department of Energy (DOE) is publishing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) for the test procedure rulemaking for metal halide lamp ballasts. The NOPR is the first document to be published in the test procedure rulemaking process. It will be followed by a Final Rule. At the NOPR stage, the DOE will propose the test procedure used to test metal halide lamp ballasts be based on the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) StandardC82.6-2005, "Ballasts for HighIntensity Discharge Lamps— Method of Measurement." Therefore, DOE is undertaking rulemaking to establish a metal halide lamp ballast test procedure based on ANSI Standard C82.6-2005 for certification, compliance and enforcement provisions of the energy conservation standards. Stakeholders are invited to review the NOPR document, attend the public meeting, and submit comments on the DOE's approach. Here you will find information on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) public meeting and DOE's proposed test procedure for Metal Halide EERE Information Center
