## On March 27, 2006, the Department of Energy gave notice of a public meeting and

availability of the framework document (see attachment). The Department will hold an informal public meeting on April 27, 2006, to discuss and receive comments on issues to be addressed in the Framework Document for establishing energy conservation standards for residential electric and gas ranges and ovens and microwave ovens, dishwashers, dehumidifiers, and commercial clothes washers. The meeting will be held at the U.S. Department of Energy, 1000 Independence Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20585-0121 in Room GE-086 (Large Auditorium) from 9:00 am to 4:00 p.m. The Department is also initiating the data collection.

I have attached the "Rulemaking Framework for Commercial Clothes Washers and Residential Dishwashers, Dehumidifiers, and Cooking Products" document for your review and discussion at the meeting. Written comments on these subjects are encouraged and should be received by May 11, 2006.
