## Commercial Refrigeration Equipment Energy 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 su bmit comments on the analysis and proposed standard levels.
