Fluorescent and

Conservation 

Standard Advance 

Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking 

Following the Framework 

Document, the Department 

of Energy (DOE) is 

publishing an Advanced 

Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (ANOPR) for the 

energy conservation 

standard rulemaking for 

general service fluorescent 

lamps and incandescent 

reflector lamps. The ANOPR 

is the first stage of the 

overall standards rulemaking 

process and will be followed 

by a Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking and ultimately a 

Final Rule. At the ANOPR 

stage, DOE presents several 

analyses, including the 

engineering analysis, the 

life-cycle cost analysis, and 

the national energy saving 

analysis. Stakeholders are 

invited to review the ANOPR 

documents and the analysis 

tools, attend the public 

meetings, and submit 

comments on the analyses. 

At the time of publication of 

the Framework Document, 

EPCA gave DOE authority to 

consider energy 

conservation standards for 

additional general service 

incandescent lamps under 

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

However, subsequent 

amendments to EPCA in the 

Energy Independence and 

Security Act of 2007 

removed that authority. 

Therefore, in the ANOPR, 

DOE is considering the 

amendment of existing 

energy conservation 

standards for general service 

fluorescent lamps and 

incandescent reflector lamps 

and whether to apply 

standards to additional 

general service fluorescent 

lamps. In addition, the 

ANOPR also announces a 

public meeting to receive 

comments. 

The comment period for this 

stage of the rulemaking 

analysis closes no later than 

April 14, 2008. How to
