M-66-1991. Because measurements

ithout a reference ballast may exhibit

eater variance in the lumen output

nd watt input measurements, the

epartment of Energy invites comments

idressing the appropriate confidence

minds and sample size for these lamps.

Basic Model

The Department is including in

)day's rulemaking definitions of "basic

todels" of general service fluorescent

imp, and general service incandescent

amp in § 430.2. These definitions will

aparate the various types of general

arvice fluorescent lamps by electrical

ad photometric characteristics, e.g.,

imp efficacy, wattage, and color

,ndering index. General service

icandescent lamps are distinguished

y their wattage and lamp efficacy. Each

nit within a basic model must have the

3me electrical characteristics:

urthermore, each unit within a given

asic model cannot have any. differing

hysical or functional .characteristics

rat affect energy consumption.

L Measures of Energy Consumption

The Department of Energy in today's

otice is adopting three measures of

nergy consumption: (a) Estimated

nnual operating cost, (b) lamp efficacy.,

ad (c) estimated annual energy

onsumpption. These measures are to be

icluded in § 430.22(r). The estimated

anual. operating cost, lamp efficacy..

and estimated annual energy

consumption will provide the consumer

with three means of evaluating the

energy efficiency of fluorescent and

incandescent reflector lamps..The

Department has based the calculations.

measurement procedures in

Illuminating Engineering Society LM-9-

1988, LM-20-1982, LM-45-1991 or

LM-66-1991.

E. Color Rendering.lndex (CRI)

The Color Rendering Index is

referenced in Illuminating Engineering

Society LM-16-1984 which the.

Department is incorporating by

reference. This guide discusses several

techniques for assessing light source

color appearance. The relationship

between color appearance and light

source spectral power distribution is

discussed, along with the systems for

classifying color appearance . The basics

o€ apectroradiomretry and colorimetry

are covered.

The Color Rendering Index is

determined by measuring the degree of

coIgr shift objects undergo when

illuminated by a light source as

compared with the color of those same

objects when illuminated by a reference

source of comparable color temperature.

This index is determined pursuant to

the International Commission on

Illuminati on Publication 13.2-1974

which the Department is incorporating

by reference. The method uses -

spectroradiometric measurements and a

detailed calculation procedure. It is

applicable to most general purpose lamp

types including general service

fluorescent and incandescent lamps,

incandescent reflector lamps and

compact fluorescent lamps.

Spectroradiometric measurements

and equipment setup follow the

guidance in Illuminating Engineering

Society LM-58-1983 which is being

incorporated by reference . This guide

describes the equipment used in making

spectroradiometric measurements, the

procedures to be followed in using the

equipment, and the precautions that

should be taken to obtain consistently

valid results. The methods are

applicable to all lamp types, and are

based on the measurement of the

complete spectral power distribution of

the source. Data presentation and error

analysis are discussed.

F. Number of Units to be Tested

The Act specifies that applicable

fluorescent and incandescent reflector

lamps shall meet the standard.

Furthermore, the Act requires that the

certification report include the lumen

output and wattage consumption for

each lamp type as an average of

measurements taken over the preceding

12 months. The Department believes

that the sampling plan for fluorescent

and incandescent reflector lamps

provides a sound statistical basis for

measurements.

The Department is adopting at

§ 430.23(r) a sampling plan based on a

99 percent confidence level for testing

general service fluorescent lamps,

general service incandescent lamps,

incandescent reflector lamps, and

medium base compact fluorescent

lamps. The sampling provisions the

Department of Energy is adopting today

require testing a minimum sample of 20

lamps. The manufacturer must

randomly select three lamps per month

for any 7 of the 12 months required to

determine the average. If there are less

than 7 months' production, the

manufacturer may divide the minimum

sample of 20 as evenly as possible into

each month of production. The

provision for less than 7 month's

production is to cover production runs

of special or limited lamps which are

subject to regulation.

The same .sample of 20 lamps which

were used for lamp efficacy testing shall

be used for measurement of the Color

Rendering Index. The Department

believes that this testing requirement

will satisfy the standard which calls for

lamp efficacy and color rendering index

measurements.

The Department believes these

provisions promote the objectives of the

Act while ntinimi7ng the burden on

manufacturers: Manufacturers and other

interested persons are encouraged to

comment on this sampling approach. as

well as the underlying assumptions.

G. Laboratory Accreditation

The -Act at section 323(b)(6), directs

DOE to prescribe test procedures which

must be carried out by accredited test

laboratories. The Department herein

defines an accredited laboratory as one

which meets the standards and

requirements of the National Voluntary

Laboratory Accreditation Program, a

division of the National Institute of

Standards and Technology of the United

States Department of Commerce. Test

laboratory accreditation by the National

Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation

Program is based on conformance with

criteria published in 15 CFR part 285

and in the National Voluntary

Laboratory Accreditation Program

Handbook 150-01, "Energy Efficient

Lighting Products, Lamps and

Luminaires," August 1993. The National

Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation

Program Handbook 150-01 is available

for inspection in the DOE reading room

from 9 to 4. Monday through Friday or

may be ordered from the National

Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation

Program. Building 411. Room A162,

Gaithersburg, MD 20899.

The National Voluntary Laboratory

Accreditation Program has mutual

recognition agreements with the

following countries: Canada, New

Zealand, Australia and Great Britain.

These agreements, with the aforesaid

countries, allow foreign test laboratories

to be recognized by the National

Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation

Program. The National Voluntary

Laboratory Accreditation-Program will

also directly accredit foreign test

laboratories. Costs for laboratory

accreditation are borne by the test

laboratory.

H. Certification Data

The Department is adding a new

paragraph for lamp certification data at

§ 430.62(a)(2). The lamp manufacturers'

certification report must include the

National Voluntary Laboratory

Accreditation Program identification

number, production date codes, lamp

efficacy, Color Rendering Index, where

applicable, lamp wattage, brand names

and model designation. Since lamps

manufactured prior to the effective date

of the standards may be in the

distribution system for some time, lamp

manufacturers should advise DOE on

how to interpret their production date

coding system in the certification report.

All other requirements of § 430.62 and

Appendix A, Compliance Statement,

also apply to general service fluorescent

lamps and incandescent reflector lamps.

L Energy Conservation Standards in section 332 and the regulations at 10

The Act prescribes, and today's notice CFR Section 430.61. The statute

includes in § 430.32,

IV. Regulatory Planning and Review federalism assessment consistent with

h

Today's regulatory action has been

determined not to be a "significant

regulatory action" under Executive

Order 12866, "Regulatory Planning and

Review," (58 FR 51735, October 4,

1993). Accordingly, today's action was

not subject to review under the

Executive Order by the Office of

Information and Regulatory Affairs.

V. Regulatory Flexibility Act

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub.

L. 96-345) (5 U.S.C. 601-612) requires

that an agency prepare an initial

regulatory flexibility analysis and that it

be published at the time the Interim

Final Rule is published. This

requirement (which appears in section

603) does not apply if the agency

"certifies that the rule will not. if

promulgated, have a significant

economic impact on a substantial

number of small entities." This rule

affects manufacturers of general service

fluorescent and incandescent lamps. As

previously discussed, the test

procedures would not have significant

economic impact. but rather, would

provide common testing methods.

Therefore, the Department of Energy

certifies that this rule, if promulgated,

would not have a "significant economic

impact on a substantial number of small

entities."

VI. Federalism Review

Executive Order 12612 (52 FR 41685,

October 30, 1987) requires that

regulations or rules be reviewed for any

substantial direct effects on States, on

the relationship between the Federal

Government and the States, or on the

distribution of power and

responsibilities among various levels of

government. If there are sufficient

substantial direct effects, then Executive

Order 12612 requires preparation of a

federalism assessment to be used in all

decisions involved in. promulgating and

implementing a regulation or a rule.

The Department of Energy has

identified a substantial direct effect that

today's Interim Final Rule would have

on State governments. It would initially

preempt inconsistent State regulations.

However, the Department of Energy has

concluded that such effect is not

sufficient to warrant preparation of a

federalism assessment for the following

reason: The Act provides for subsequent

State petitions for exemption. Thus, a

determination as to whether a State law
