Proposed Rule Stage 

137. Energy Efficiency Standards for 

Certain Commercial and Industrial 

Electric Motors 

Legal Authority: 42 U.S.C. 

6313(b)(4)(B) 

Abstract: The Energy Independence 

and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007) 

updated the energy efficiency standards 

for electric motors covered in Energy 

Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) 

and established energy efficiency 

standards for a larger scope of motors 

previously not covered. EPCA requires 

that a final rule determining whether to 

amend standards be published no later 

than 24 months after the effective date 

of the previous final rule. As EISA 2007 

constitutes the previous amendment to 

energy conservation standards for 

electric motors and its effective date is 

December 19, 2010, DOE must publish 

this amendment to energy conservation 

standards for electric motors by 

December 19, 2012.
