I. Statutory Authority 

Title III of the Energy Policy and 

Conservation Act (EPCA; 42 U.S.C. 6291 

et seq.) sets forth a variety of provisions 

designed to improve energy efficiency. 

Part B of Title III (42 U.S.C. 6291–6309) 

established the ‘‘Energy Conservation 

Program for Consumer Products Other 

Than Automobiles,’’ which includes the 

fluorescent and incandescent reflector 

lamps (IRLs) that are the focus of this 

preliminary analysis.1 2 In particular, 

EPCA establishes energy conservation 

standards for certain classes of general 

service fluorescent lamps (GSFLs) and 

IRLs, and requires that the U.S. 

Department of Energy (DOE) (1) conduct 

two rulemaking cycles to determine 

whether these standards should be 

amended; and (2) determine whether 

the standards in effect for GSFLs should 

be amended to apply to additional 

GSFLs. (42 U.S.C. 6291(1), 6295(i)(1) 

and (3)-(5)) On July 14, 2009, DOE 

published a final rule in the Federal 

Register, which completed the first 

rulemaking cycle to amend energy 

conservation standards for GSFLs and 

IRLs (hereafter the ‘‘2009 Lamps Rule’’). 

74 FR 34080. This rulemaking 

constitutes DOE’s second cycle of 

review to determine whether the 

standards in effect for GSFLs and IRLs 

should be amended. In this rulemaking, 

DOE will also consider whether the 

standards should be applicable to 

additional GSFLs. 

DOE must design any energy 

conservation standards for GSFLs and 

IRLs to (1) achieve the maximum 

improvement in energy efficiency that is 

technologically feasible and 

economically justified, and (2) result in 

significant conservation of energy. (42 

U.S.C. 6295(o)(2)(A) and (o)(3)) To 

determine whether a proposed standard 

is economically justified, DOE must 

determine whether the benefits of the 

standard exceed its burdens by, to the 

greatest extent practicable, considering 

the following seven factors: 

1. The economic impact of the 

standard on manufacturers and 

consumers of products subject to the 

standard; 

2. The savings in operating costs 

throughout the estimated average life of 

the covered products in the type (or 

class) compared to any increase in the 

price, initial charges, or maintenance 

expenses for the covered products 

which are likely to result from the 

imposition of the standard; 

3. The total projected amount of 

energy savings likely to result directly 

from the imposition of the standard; 

4. Any lessening of the utility or the 

performance of the covered products 

likely to result from the imposition of 

the standard; 

5. The impact of any lessening of 

competition, as determined in writing 

by the Attorney General, that is likely to 

result from the imposition of the 

standard; 

6. The need for national energy 

conservation; and 

7. Other factors the Secretary [of 

Energy] considers relevant. 

(42 U.S.C. 6295(o)(2)(B)(i)) 

DOE also adheres to additional 

statutory requirements of general 

applicability for prescribing new or 

amended standards set forth in other 

relevant sections of EPCA. 

II. Rulemakings for General Service 

Fluorescent Lamps and Incandescent 

Reflector Lamps 

A. Background 

As mentioned in the previous section, 

EPCA, as amended, established energy 

conservation standards for certain 

classes of GSFLs and IRLs, and required 

DOE to conduct two rulemaking cycles 

to determine whether these standards 

should be amended. (42 U.S.C. 6291(1), 

6295(i)(1) and (3)–(4)) EPCA also 

authorized DOE to adopt standards for 

additional GSFLs if such standards were 

warranted. (42 U.S.C. 6295(i)(5)). 

DOE completed the first cycle of 

amendments by publishing a final rule 

in the Federal Register in July 2009. 74 

FR 34080 (July 14, 2009). In the 2009 

Lamps Rule, DOE amended existing 

GSFL and IRL energy conservation 

standards and adopted standards for 

additional GSFLs. DOE also amended 

the regulatory definitions of ‘‘colored 

fluorescent lamp’’ and ‘‘rated wattage’’ 

and adopted test procedures applicable 

to the newly covered GSFLs.3

To initiate the second rulemaking 

cycle to consider amended energy 

conservation standards for GSFLs and 

IRLs, on September 14, 2011, DOE 

published a notice announcing the 

availability of the framework document, 

‘‘Energy Conservation Standards 

Rulemaking Framework Document for 

General Service Fluorescent Lamps and 

Incandescent Reflector Lamps,’’ and a 

public meeting to discuss the proposed 

analytical framework for the 

rulemaking. 76 FR 56678. In the 

framework document, which DOE also 

posted on its Web site, DOE described 

the procedural and analytical 

approaches DOE anticipated using to 

evaluate the establishment of energy 

conservation standards for GSFLs and 

IRLs. 

DOE held the public meeting for the 

framework document on October 4, 

2011,4 to describe the various 

rulemaking analyses DOE would 

conduct, such as the engineering 

analysis, the life-cycle cost (LCC) and 

payback period (PBP) analyses, and the 

national impact analysis (NIA); the 

methods for conducting them; and the 

relationship among the various 

analyses. Manufacturers, trade 

associations, and environmental 

advocates attended the meeting. The 

participants discussed multiple issues, 

including unknown impacts of the 2009 

Lamps Rule, technology shifts, and rare 

earth phosphors. 

DOE has also taken steps to consider 

standards for certain reflector (R), 

elliptical reflector (ER), and bulged 

reflector (BR) IRLs. Additional 

background can be found at 75 FR 

23191 (May 3, 2010). DOE has 

suspended these rulemaking activities, 

however, as a result of section 315 of 

Public Law 112–74 (Dec. 23, 2011), 

which prohibits DOE from using 

appropriated funds to implement or 

enforce standards for these IRLs. DOE 

does not examine any IRLs covered by 

the prohibition (which has currently 

been extended through March 27, 2013), 

including bulged parabolic reflector 

IRLs, in this preliminary analysis. 

B. Current Rulemaking Process 

In this preliminary analysis, DOE 

considers whether and at what level(s) 

to promulgate energy conservation 

standards for GSFLs and IRLs. 

Comments received since publication of 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 40 / Thursday, February 28, 2013 / Proposed Rules 13565 

5 DOE selected baseline lamps for each 

representative product class. Generally, a baseline 

lamp is one that represents the most common, least 

efficacious lamp sold within a product class. 

the framework document have helped 

DOE identify and resolve issues 

involved in the preliminary analyses. 

Chapter 2 of the preliminary technical 

support document (TSD) summarizes 

and addresses the comments DOE 

received. 

The process for developing energy 

conservation standards involves input 

from the public. DOE considers the 

participation of interested parties to be 

a very important part of the rulemaking 

process. Accordingly, DOE encourages 

the participation of all interested parties 

during the comment period provided at 

each stage of the rulemaking. 

In conducting energy conservation 

standards rulemakings, DOE involves 

interested parties through various 

means. This standards rulemaking 

process for GSFLs and IRLs involves 

four public notices, published in the 

Federal Register, and three public 

meetings (including the public notice 

and meeting associated with the 

framework document previously 

mentioned). 

The preliminary analysis allows for 

public comment on the data, models, 

and tools that DOE expects to use in the 

rulemaking. These data, as discussed in 

section III.A, include product classes 

and candidate standard levels (CSLs), 

which span the range of efficacies from 

baseline lamps 5 to the most efficacious 

technology. DOE requests comment and 

will hold a public meeting and webinar 

related to the preliminary analyses on 

the day specified in the DATES section. 

After the preliminary analysis public 

meeting, DOE will determine whether to 

publish a notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NOPR). Any NOPR would present 

discussion of the comments received on 

the preliminary analysis, along with 

DOE’s analysis of the impacts of 

potential standards on consumers, 

manufacturers, and the nation; DOE’s 

weighting of these impacts; and the 

proposed standard levels, for public 

comment. 

III. Summary of the Analyses 

DOE conducted in-depth technical 

analyses in the following areas for 

GSFLs and IRLs currently under 

consideration: (1) Engineering, (2) 

energy-use characterization, (3) product 

price determination, (4) LCC and PBP, 

and (5) national impact. The 

preliminary TSD presents the 

methodology and results of each 

analysis. The analyses are described in 

more detail in the following sections. 

DOE conducted several other analyses 

that either support the five major 

analyses or are preliminary analyses 

that will be expanded in the NOPR. 

These include the market and 

technology assessment; the screening 

analysis, which contributes to the 

engineering analysis; and the shipments 

analysis, which contributes to the NIA. 

DOE has also begun work on the 

manufacturer impact analysis and 

identified the methods to be used for the 

LCC subgroup analysis, the emissions 

analysis, the employment analysis, the 

regulatory impact analysis, and the 

utility impact analysis. 

A. Engineering Analysis 

For this GSFL and IRL rulemaking, 

DOE derives efficacy levels in the 

engineering analysis and lamp end-user 

prices in the product price 

determination (see section III.C). DOE 

estimates the end-user price of GSFLs 

and IRLs directly because it is difficult 

to disassemble and reverse-engineer the 

lamps. The outputs of the engineering 

analysis and product price 

determination are used to develop costefficiency relationships. 

The engineering analysis focuses on 

selecting commercially available lamps 

that incorporate design options that 

improve efficacy. The engineering 

analysis identifies both the highest 

efficacy level that is technologically 

feasible within each product class and 

the representative baseline models, 

which serve as reference points against 

which DOE can measure changes 

resulting from potential energy 

conservation standards. After 

identifying more efficacious substitutes 

for each baseline model, DOE develops 

CSLs. Chapters 2 and 5 of the 

preliminary TSD discuss the 

engineering analysis, and chapters 2 and 

7 and appendix 7A of the preliminary 

TSD discuss the product price 

determination. 

B. Energy-Use Analysis 

The purpose of the energy-use 

analysis is to estimate the energy usage 

for the baseline and higher efficacy 

lamps considered in this rulemaking. 

This analysis, which is meant to 

represent typical energy usage in the 

field, is an input to both the LCC and 

PBP analyses and the NIA. The energyuse analysis enables DOE to determine 

the LCC and the PBP of more efficacious 

lamps in relation to the baseline lamp. 

Chapters 2 and 6 of the preliminary TSD 

provide detail on the energy-use 

characterization. 

C. Product Price Determination 

As mentioned in section III.A, DOE 

often develops cost-efficiency 

relationships in the engineering 

analysis. However, for this rulemaking, 

DOE estimated the end-user price of 

GSFLs and IRLs directly. DOE selected 

this methodology because it is difficult 

to reverse-engineer GSFLs and IRLs, 

which are not easily disassembled. 

Chapters 2 and 7 of the preliminary TSD 

provide detail on the estimation of enduser prices. 

D. Life-Cycle Cost and Payback Period 

Analyses 

The LCC and PBP analyses determine 

the economic impact of potential 

standards on individual customers. The 

LCC of a product is the cost it incurs 

over its lifetime, taking into account 

both purchase price and operating 

expenses. The PBP represents the time 

it takes to recover the additional 

installed cost of the more efficacious 

products through annual operating-cost 

savings. DOE analyzes the net effect on 

consumers by calculating the LCC and 

PBP using the engineering performance 

data (section III.A), the energy-use 

analysis data (section III.B), and the 

product price determination (section 

III.C). Chapters 2 and 8 of the 

preliminary TSD provide detail on the 

LCC and PBP analyses. 

E. National Impact Analysis 

The NIA estimates the national energy 

savings (NES) and the net present value 

(NPV) of total consumer costs and 

savings expected to result from 

amended standards at specific CSLs. 

DOE calculates NES and NPV for each 

CSL for GSFLs and IRLs as the 

difference between a base case 

projection (without new standards) and 

the standards-case projection (with 

standards). DOE calculates national 

energy use for each year beginning with 

the expected compliance date of the 

standards, estimating national 

electricity use for the base case and each 

potential standard level analyzed. To 

calculate energy use, product stock in a 

given year is multiplied by annual 

energy use. DOE calculates the national 

NPV of the consumer savings resulting 

from energy conservation standards in 

conjunction with the NES. It calculates 

annual energy expenditures from annual 

energy use by incorporating projected 

energy prices and installed stock in each 

year. DOE calculates annual product 

expenditures by multiplying the price 

per lamp by the projected shipments. 

The difference between a base case and 

a standards-case scenario gives the 

national energy bill savings and 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS
13566 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 40 / Thursday, February 28, 2013 / Proposed Rules 

increased product expenditure in 

dollars. Chapters 2 and 10 of the 

preliminary TSD provide more detail on 

the NIA. 

IV. Public Participation 

DOE consulted with interested parties 

on all of the analyses and invites further 

input on these topics. The preliminary 

analytical results are subject to revision 

following review and input from the 

public. A revised TSD will be made 

available upon issuance of a NOPR. Any 

final rule will contain the final analysis 

results and be accompanied by a final 

rule TSD. 

At the preliminary analysis public 

meeting, the Department will make a 

presentation, invite discussion on the 

rulemaking process as it applies to the 

covered products, and solicit comments, 

data, and information from participants 

and other interested parties. Participants 

can also attend the public meeting via 

webinar. Registration information, 

participant instructions, and 

information about the capabilities 

available to webinar participants will be 

available through the following Web 

page: http://www1.eere.energy.gov/

buildings/appliance_standards/public_

meetings_and_comment_deadline.html. 

Participants are responsible for ensuring 

their computer systems are compatible 

with the webinar software. The 

Department encourages those who wish 

to participate in the public meeting to 

obtain the preliminary TSD and to be 

prepared to discuss its contents. 

However, public meeting participants 

need not limit their comments to the 

topics identified in the TSD. DOE is also 

interested in receiving information on 

other relevant issues that participants 

believe would affect energy 

conservation standards for these 

products or that DOE should address in 

the NOPR. 

DOE welcomes all interested parties, 

regardless of whether they participate in 

the public meeting, to submit comments 

and information in writing by the day 

listed in the DATES section. 

The public meeting and associated 

webinar will be conducted in an 

informal, conference style. A court 

reporter will be present to record the 

minutes of the meeting. There shall be 

no discussion of proprietary 

information, costs, prices, market 

shares, or other commercial matters 

regulated by U.S. antitrust laws. 

After considering all comments and 

additional information it receives from 

interested parties or through further 

analyses, DOE will consider whether to 

propose standard levels in a NOPR. Any 

NOPR would be published in the 

Federal Register and include proposed 

energy conservation standards for the 

products covered by the rulemaking. 

Members of the public will again have 

an opportunity to submit written and 

oral comments on any proposed 

standards.
