Conservation Standard Notice 

of Proposed Rulemaking 

(NOPR) 

Following the Advance Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (ANOPR), the Department of 

Energy (DOE) is publishing a Notice of 

Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) for the energy 

conservation standards for commercial 

refrigeration equipment. The NOPR is the first 

stage of the overall standards rulemaking 

process and will be followed by a Final Rule. 

At the NOPR stage, DOE presents the 

proposed standard levels and all the 

rulemaking analyses, including the 

engineering analysis, life-cycle cost analysis, 

national impact analysis, environmental 

impact analysis, utility impact analysis, and 

the regulatory impact analysis. Interested 

parties are invited to review the NOPR 

documents and the analytical tools, attend the 

public meetings, and submit comments on the 

analysis and proposed standard levels.
