FISCAL 2002 PRIORITY SETTING FOR THE 

APPLIANCE STANDARDS RULEMAKING PROCESS 

The enclosed data sheets reflect the priorities proposed for Fiscal Year 2002 by the Department 

of Energy, Office of Building Research and Standards. The Office requests comments on the 

data sheets and the proposed priorities and schedules. These proposed priorities are based on the 

presumption that the Lighting and Appliance Standards Program will be funded at its requested 

level for the fiscal year 2002. Final priorities will be based on the Department's consideration of 

comments received and funds available. Once rulemakings are completed low priority actions 

will be added to the highlmedium priority lists. 

Written comments should be submitted by November 20,2001, to the U.S. Department of 

Energy, 1000 Independence Ave., S W, Washington, D.C. 20585-0 12 1, Attn: Michael Raymond, 

EE-41, or by e-mail at Michael.Raymond@ee.doe.gov. If you have any questions, please 

contact Michael Raymond at (202) 586-961 1.

DOE regulation of white goods for 111 line manufacturers. ..................................................................................................................................... 

There appears to be a general consensus among stakeholders that updating clothes 

dryer standards should be given low priority. ..................................................................................................................................... 

At least three U.S. manufacturers are marketing high efficiency clothes washers, 

which are likely to have improved moisture extraction. 

Significant dryer savings potential has been considered in clothes washer 

rulemaking (greater moisture extraction). Mechanical extraction has been 

estimated to be 20 times more cost effective than thermal extraction. 

New electric dryers advertise 30% reduction in energy usage. .....................................................................................................................................
