Title: Price Competitive Sale of Strategic Petroleum Reserve Petroleum; Standard

Abstract:

On December 21, 1983, the Department of Energy (DOE) published in the Federal Register a final rule which governs the price competitive sales of petroleum from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) in the event that the SPR is drawn down to respond to a severe energy supply interruption or to meet obligations of the United States under the agreement on an International Energy Program. The final rule provides for the publication and periodic update, as an appendix to the rule, of Standard Sales Provisions (SSPs) containing or describing contract clauses, terms and conditions of sale, and performance and financial responsibility measures which may be used for particular sales of SPR petroleum. First published in interim final form on January 20, 1984, the SSPs have since been updated several times, with the latest version published in the Federal Register on July 7, 2005 (70 FR 39364). DOE is planning to update the SSPs.

Title: Energy Efficiency Standards for Commercial and Industrial Gas Compressors

Abstract:

DOE initiated a rulemaking for commercial and industrial compressors under part A-1 of title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended under RIN 1904-AC83,

which covered compressors in general. DOE understands that air compressors and gas compressors are different types of equipment serving different markets, so DOE is establishing separate rulemakings to address energy conservation standards for: (1) commercial and industrial air compressors; and (2) commercial and industrial gas compressors. To this end, DOE is splitting RIN 1904-AC83 into two separate rulemakings as follows: (1) air compressors under 1904-AC83; and (2) gas compressors under this RIN.

Title: Energy Conservation Standards for Direct Heating Equipment and Pool Heaters

Abstract:

DOE is initiating a rulemaking to consider amending energy conservation standards for direct heating equipment and pool heaters. Once completed, this rulemaking will fulfill DOE’s statutory obligation to either propose amended energy conservation standards for these products or to determine that the existing standards do not need to be amended. To this end, DOE must determine whether national standards more stringent than those currently in place would result in a significant amount of additional energy savings and whether such amended national standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified.

Title: Energy Efficiency Standards for Manufactured Housing

Abstract:

Section 413 of EISA requires that DOE establish standards for energy efficiency in manufactured housing. See 42 U.S.C. 17071(a)(1). DOE is directed to base the energy efficiency standards on the most recent version of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), except where DOE finds that the IECC is not cost effective, or a more stringent standard would be more cost effective, based on the impact of the IECC on the purchase price of manufactured housing and on total life-cycle construction and operating costs. DOE undertook a successful negotiated rulemaking under the Appliance Standards and Rulemaking Federal Advisory Committee in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act and the Negotiated Rulemaking Act to negotiate proposed Federal standards for the energy efficiency of manufactured homes. As part of the consensus reached, the negotiating group recommended that DOE conduct additional analysis to inform the selection of solar heat gain coefficient requirements in certain climate zones and seek information regarding window fenestration pertaining to manufactured housing.

A request for information was issued on these topics.

Title: Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial and Industrial Pumps

Abstract:

EPCA, as amended, authorizes the Secretary to determine whether establishing energy conservation standards for commercial and industrial pumps is technically feasible and economically justified and would save a significant amount of energy. On June 13, 2013, DOE published a notice of intent to establish a negotiated rulemaking working group for the manufactured housing rulemaking under the Appliance Standards and Rulemaking Federal Advisory Committee (ASRAC) in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and the Negotiated Rulemaking Act (NRA) to negotiate proposed Federal standards for the energy efficiency of commercial and industrial pumps (78 FR 44036). The purpose of the working group was to discuss and, if possible, reach consensus on a proposed rule for the energy efficiency of commercial and industrial pumps. The working group has negotiated standard levels that were accepted by ASRAC on July 7, 2014. As a result, DOE will conduct a rulemaking to consider adopting the working groups' recommendations.

Title: Enforcement of Regional Standards for Residential Furnaces and Central Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps

Abstract:

DOE has developed three separate possible approaches to enforcement of regional standards for residential furnaces and residential central air conditioners and heat pumps set forth by direct final rule published in the Federal Register on June 27, 2011 (76 FR 37549). Adoption of these regional standards was addressed on October 31, 2011 (76 FR 67037). DOE intends to select one of these three approaches, or a combination of elements in these approaches, as a framework for an enforcement plan for regional standards. DOE is also considering a possible waiver process for regional standards applicability. DOE is required to promulgate an enforcement final rule covering the enforcement of regional standards "[n]ot later than 15 months after the date of the issuance of a final rule that establishes a regional standard." 42 U.S.C. 6295(o)(6)(G)(ii)(III). In a notice published in the Federal Register on June 13 2014 (79 FR 33870), DOE announced that it was forming a working group under ASRAC to develop proposed energy efficiency requirements for regional standards enforcement.

Title: Test Procedures for Illuminated Exit Signs

Abstract:

EPCA requires DOE to evaluate, at least once every seven years, the test procedures for all covered products and either amend the test procedures or publish a determination in the Federal Register not to amend them. EPCA also requires DOE to amend its test procedures for all covered products to include measurement of energy consumption of each product while in standby mode or off mode. This rule satisfies these requirements and includes a number of amendments to the test procedure for illuminated exit signs.

Title: Energy Conservation Standards for General Service Lamps

Abstract:

Amendments to Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) direct DOE to conduct two rulemaking cycles to evaluate energy conservation standards for GSLs, the first of which must be initiated no later than January 1, 2014. EISA specifically states that the scope of the rulemaking is not limited to incandescent lamp technologies. EISA also states that DOE must consider in the first rulemaking cycle the minimum backstop requirement of 45 lumens per watt for GSLs effective January 1, 2020. This rulemaking constitutes DOE's first rulemaking cycle.

Title: Energy Conservation Standards for Residential Non-Weatherized Gas Furnaces

Abstract:

The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), as amended, prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including residential furnaces. EPCA also requires the DOE to periodically determine whether more-stringent amended standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified and would save a significant amount of energy. DOE is amending its energy conservation standards for residential non-weatherized gas furnaces and mobile home gas furnaces in partial fulfillment of a court-ordered remand of DOE's 2011 rulemaking for these products.

Title: Certification, Compliance, and Enforcement for Consumer Products and Commercial and Industrial Equipment

Abstract:

DOE is conducting a rulemaking to revise its certification, compliance, and enforcement regulations applicable to consumer products and commercial and industrial equipment. Specifically, DOE is proposing changes to its reporting requirements for certain products so that they align with those of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). This is intended to reduce reporting burden by enabling manufacturers to report certification data to a single agency rather than to both agencies. DOE is also proposing changes to the certification and reporting requirements for products with energy conservation standards that have been recently amended to reflect changes in these standards. Finally, the notice proposes various minor revisions to existing certification, compliance, enforcement, and adjudication procedures applicable to both consumer products and commercial and industrial equipment to improve the clarity and readability of the regulatory language, and to ensure that manufacturers report certification data accurately and consistently.

Title: Energy Conservation Standards for Central Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps

Abstract:

DOE must determine whether to amend the current energy conservation standards for residential central air conditioner and heat pump products. According to the Energy Policy and Conservation Act’s six-year review requirement (42 U.S.C. 6295(m)(1)), DOE must publish a notice of proposed rulemaking to propose new standards for residential central air conditioner and heat pump products, or a notice of determination that the existing standards do not need to be amended, by June 6, 2017. This rulemaking is to determine whether amended standards for residential central air conditioner and heat pump products would result in a significant amount of additional energy savings, and whether those standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified.

Title: Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products: Definitions for Residential Water Heaters

Abstract:

The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), as amended, prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including residential water heaters. EPCA also requires the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to determine whether more-stringent, amended standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would save a significant amount of energy. Accordingly, DOE established amended energy conservation standards for several classes of residential water heaters in an April 2010 final rule. DOE is amending its definitions pertaining to residential water heaters and to clarify the applicability of energy conservation standards for residential water heaters that are utilized as a secondary back-up heat source in solar-thermal water heating systems. Specifically, DOE is creating a definition for solar assisted fossil fuel storage water heater and solar assisted electric storage water heater and clarify that water heaters meeting these definitions are not subject to the amended energy conservation standards for residential water heaters established by the April 2010 final rule.Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant Agenda Stage of Rulemaking: Proposed Rule

Title: Test Procedure for Pumps

Abstract:

This rulemaking establishes the test method for measuring the hydraulic power, shaft power, and electric input power of pumps, inclusive of electric motors and any continuous or noncontinuous controls. The test procedure would be used to determine the constant load pump energy index (PEICL) for pumps sold without continuous or non-continuous controls or the variable load pump energy index (PEIVL) for pumps sold with continuous or non-continuous controls. The test procedure reflects certain recommendations made by a stakeholder Working Group for pumps established under the Appliance Standards Rulemaking Federal Advisory Committee (ASRAC).

Title: Energy Conservation Standards for Small, Large, and Very Large Commercial Package A/C and Heating Equipment

Abstract:

The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975, as amended, requires DOE to periodically review its standards for small, large, and very large commercial package air conditioners and heating equipment (also commonly known as commercial unitary air conditioners and heat pumps -- or CUACs). Under recent amendments to EPCA made by the American Efficient Manufacturing Technical Corrections Act of 2012 Pub. L. No. 112-210 (Dec. 18, 2012), DOE must review its standards for this equipment every six years and determine whether they need amending. It also requires that, for those equipment types for which more than six years have elapsed since the most recent final rules establishing or amending a standard for that equipment, DOE must publish a proposal to amend the applicable standard. More than six years has elapsed since the standards for this equipment were last amended. After reviewing these standards and the available data, DOE has determined that amending the current energy conservation standards for this equipment would be technologically feasible and economically justified. Accordingly, DOE is proposing to amend the current standards for this equipment.

Title: Determination of Hearth Products as a Covered Consumer Product

Abstract:

DOE has tentatively determined that hearth products qualify as a covered product under part A of title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended. More specifically, DOE has tentatively determined that hearth products meet the criteria for covered products because classifying products of such type as covered products is necessary or appropriate to carry out the purposes of EPCA (which is to improve the efficiency of covered consumer products to conserve the energy resources of the Nation) and the average annual U.S. household energy use for hearth products is likely to exceed 100 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year.

Title: Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Heating, Air-Conditioning, and Water-Heating Equipment--ASHRAE 90.1-2013

Abstract:

The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), as amended, directs DOE to establish energy conservation standards for certain commercial and industrial equipment, including commercial heating, air-conditioning, and water-heating equipment. The statute also requires that each time the corresponding consensus standard of the American Society of Heating Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers Inc. (ASHRAE), Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) Standard 90.1 is amended by the industry, DOE must assess whether there is a need to update the uniform national energy conservation standards for the same equipment covered under EPCA. ASHRAE officially released an amended version of this industry standard (ASHRAE Standard 90.1-2013) on October 9, 2013, thereby triggering DOE's related obligations under EPCA. DOE has initiated this rulemaking to evaluate the contents of ASHRAE 90.1-2013 pursuant to its obligations under EPCA.

Title: Test Procedures for Miscellaneous Refrigeration Products

Abstract:

DOE is conducting a rulemaking to consider new test procedures that would measure the energy efficiency of wine chillers and other related miscellaneous refrigeration products that maintain warmer compartment temperatures than refrigerators. It is also considering establishing a test procedure for icemakers. These procedures are being considered for those products that use a vapor-compression refrigeration system and those that do not. DOE is looking at new definitions and test procedures for (1) cooled cabinets, (2) refrigerators that do not use a vaporcompression refrigeration system, (3) hybrid refrigeration products, which incorporate warm compartments such as wine storage compartments in products that otherwise provide the functions of refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, or freezers, and (4) ice makers.

Title: Energy Efficiency Test Procedures for Commercial and Industrial Gas Compressors

Abstract:

DOE is in the process of considering setting energy conservation standards for commercial and industrial natural gas compressors under part A-1 of title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended, under RIN 1904-AD40. DOE understands that air compressors and natural gas compressors are different types of equipment serving different markets. For example, air compressors are largely used in manufacturing and packaging operations and often driven by 10 to 500 horsepower electric motors; but natural gas compressors are used to transport natural gas from drilling fields to customers (e.g., power plants and utilities) via cross-country pipelines and are often driven by natural gas-fueled engines rated in thousands of horsepower. In view of the above, DOE is considering establishing test procedures for commercial and industrial gas compressors under 42 U.S.C. 6314.

Title: Energy Conservation Standards for Residential Water Heaters Waiver Procedures

Abstract:

DOE amended its standards for residential water heaters on April 16, 2010, and compliance with the amended standards is required beginning on April 16, 2015. Of particular relevance, the amended standards for residential water heaters raised the minimum requirements for electric storage water heaters with storage volumes above 55 gallons to levels that are currently achieved through the use of heat pump water heater technology. This rulemaking considers establishing a waiver process that would mitigate the concerns of utility companies regarding the implementation of the April 2010 standard levels by allowing for the manufacture of certain large-volume electric storage water heaters provided that they meet a set of conditions discussed in this rulemaking.

Title: Revision of Technology Investment Agreement Regulations

Abstract:

DOE is revising 10 CFR part 603, Technology Investment Agreements, governing the use of "other transactions" (OT) agreements. New guidance from referenced financial assistance and contract regulations are incorporated with existing relevant OT guidance to provide one consolidated set of regulations for all DOE OT awards. Unnecessary and duplicative verbiage are deleted from existing OT guidance, and the subparts are reorganized to streamline and simplify the OT regulations to make it easier to locate and use the appropriate OT provisions. As a result 10, CFR part 603 is renamed "Other Transaction Award Regulations."

Title: Convention on Supplementary Compensation for Nuclear Damage Contingent Cost Allocation

Abstract:

The U.S. Department of Energy proposes to issue regulations under section 934 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. It establishes a retrospective risk pooling program by which nuclear suppliers will reimburse the United States government for any contribution it is obliged to make to an international supplementary fund under the Convention on Supplementary Compensation for Nuclear Damage (CSC) in the event of certain nuclear incidents not covered by the Price-Anderson Act. The risk pooling program will involve a premium to be assessed retrospectively (i.e., a deferred payment) based on a risk-informed formula taking into account specified risk factors and exclusionary criteria to provide a fair and equitable proration of costs among U.S. nuclear suppliers benefited by the CSC.

Title: Management and Operating Contractor Business System

Abstract:

This rulemaking amends the Department of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) to define management and operating contractor business systems as accounting systems, purchasing systems, earned value management systems, and property management systems.

This rulemaking amends the DOE Acquisition Regulation to incorporate a "Provisional Payment of Fee or Profit" clause for incentive-type contracts.

Title: Safeguarding of Restricted Data by Federal Employees and Contractors

Abstract:

The Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, established authorities for the Department of Energy to grant access and to develop the protection requirements for Restricted Data (RD) and Formerly Restricted Data (FRD). The current policy (10 CFR 1016) only contains requirements for access permittees. The purpose of this proposed new policy is to provide language relating to Other Government Agencies (OGAs) and their contractors access to and safeguarding requirements for RD and FRD. This will provide greater assurance that OGAs have clear and concise guidance pertaining to Restricted Data. Because of increasing access to RD and the sensitivity of this type of information, failure to protect RD or FRD from unauthorized individuals could be detrimental to National Security.

Title: Technical Amendments: Transfer of Office Functions

Abstract:

DOE has reorganized its Office of Health, Safety and Security (HSS) by dividing the office into two separate organizations: The Office of Environment, Health, Safety and Security and the Office of Independent Enterprise Assessment. Certain HSS functions transferred to the Office of Environment, Health, Safety and Security are subject to regulations in title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations. As a result, title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations contains references to DOE program offices and positions that are no longer extant. This final rule amends title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations to reflect new organizational structures and titles and update addresses that are no longer correct.

Title: Assistance to Foreign Atomic Energy Activities

Abstract:

DOE is amending its regulations at 10 CFR part 810 concerning unclassified assistance to foreign atomic energy activities. The amendments are being made to reflect a need to make the regulations consistent with current global civil nuclear trade practices and nonproliferation norms and to update the activities and technologies subject to the Secretary's specific authorization and DOE reporting requirements. These regulations provide guidelines for which exports would be generally authorized, and for which destinations would require a specific authorization by the Secretary of Energy, when persons subject to the jurisdiction of the United States engage directly or indirectly in the production of special nuclear material outside the United States.

Title: Arrest Authority for Protective Force Officers

Abstract:

NNSA Protective Force Officers (PFO) are granted arrest authority in section 161 (k) of the Atomic Energy Act (AEA), codified at 42 U.S.C. section 2201(k). The DOE regulations that implement this CFR section of the AEA are contained in 10 CFR 1047. Included in these regulations, at 10 CFR 1047.4, is a listing of a small subset of Federal crimes for which PFOs have arrest authority. The language of section 161(k) grants the Secretary the ability to modify the list of arrestable offenses included in 10 CFR 1047.4. This list of offenses has not been amended since July 1985. Since that time, the climate in which NNSA operates has significantly changed due to the events of September 11, 2001. It is critical that NNSA amend its regulations to adapt its operations to capture advantages learned from overseas, at other DOE/NNSA facilities, and through internal testing so that it can complete its mission of transporting nuclear weapons, nuclear weapons components and special nuclear material safely and securely. There are no additional costs to DOE/NNSA, businesses or other governmental entities anticipated with making these
