SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Pursuant

to section 325 of the Energy

Conservation and Policy Act (ECPA) (42

U.S.C. 6295), DOE published in the

Federal Register a final amended energy

conservation standard for residential

water heaters. This final rule did not

change the current efficiency levels for

oil-fired and instantaneous gas and

electric water heaters. The rule creates

a new class for tabletop water heaters

with no change in standards.

On February 2, 2001, in conformity

with President Bush’s Regulatory

Review Plan, DOE announced that it

would be reviewing the water heater

rule to determine whether further action

is warranted (66 FR 8745).

Subsequently, the Gas Appliance

Manufacturers Association (GAMA) and
