SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

1. Authority

Part B of Title III of the Energy Policy

and Conservation Act (EPCA), (Pub. L.

94-163) created the Energy

Conservation Program for Consumer

Products other than Automobiles

(Program). The products currently

subject to this Program include

fluorescent lamp ballasts among others.

EPCA sets minimum energy

conservation standards for fluorescent

lamp ballasts and requires the

Department of Energy to revise and

increase these standards.

2. Background

On March 4, 1994, the Department

proposed standards for room air

conditioners, water heaters, direct

heating equipment, mobile home

furnaces, kitchen ranges and ovens, pool

heaters, fluorescent lamp ballasts and

television sets. (59 FR 10464). The

Department received over 8,000

comments on the proposed rule,

including comments from

manufacturers, consumers, Members of

Congress, retailers, broadcasters,

national trade associations, national

energy advocates, utilities and other

Federal agencies. Based on the

comments in the record, the Department

determined that revised data from a

larger sample of fluorescent lamp ballast

types was needed. On December 2, 1994

and on January 17, 1995, the

Department held public meetings at the

Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) in

Berkeley, California. The purpose of the

meeting was to review the methodology

for the fluorescent lamp ballast

engineering analysis and to discuss the

need for current data on all types of

fluorescent lamp ballasts. On January

31, 1995, the Department published

notification in the Federal Register of

the Department decision to proceed

with separate rulemakings for

fluorescent lamp ballasts, televisions,

and electric water heaters. (60 FR 5880).

3. Discussion

The purpose of the workshop is to

discuss the engineering analysis, data

sources, the maximum technologically

feasible design, and the life-cycle cost

analysis for fluorescent lamp ballasts.

This workshop will not involve

discussion of energy conservation

standards for ballasts.

Discussion of the engineering analysis

will focus on ballast classes, energy use

data (watts input), ballast efficacy

factors (BEF), and cost versus ballast

efficiency. Ballast classes under

discussion will be the one to four lamp

F40T12 and F32T8 ballasts, the two
