Energy Conservation Program for 

Consumer Products and Certain 

Commercial and Industrial Equipment: 

Proposed Determination of Computer 

Servers as a Covered Consumer 

Product 

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and 

Renewable Energy, Department of 

Energy. 

ACTION: Proposed determination of 

coverage. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of 

Energy (DOE or the ‘‘Department’’) has 

determined tentatively that computer 

servers (servers) qualify as a covered 

product under Part A of Title III of the 

Energy Policy and Conservation Act 

(EPCA), as amended. DOE has 

determined that servers 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, and the 

average U.S. household energy use for 

servers is likely to exceed 100 kilowatthours (kWh) per year. 

DATES: DOE will accept written 

comments, data, and information on this 

notice, but no later than August 12, 

2013. 

ADDRESSES: Interested persons may 

submit comments, identified by docket 

number EERE–2013–BT–DET–0034, by
