ACTION: Interim final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy 

(the Department) gives notice of an 

Interim Final Rule to establish test 

procedures for fluorescent and 

incandescent lamps. incorporating by 

reference test procedures adopted by the 

Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), 

American National Standards Institute 

(ANSI).and the International 

Commission on Illumination (CIE). The 

Energy Policy Act of 1992 requires th~ 

Department of Energy to administer an 

energy conservation program for certain 

major household appliances and 

commercial equipment. Among other 

program elements, the law requires that 

standard methods of testing be 

prescribed for each covered product.

lighting test procedures in effect so that 

lighting manufacturers can meet the 

testing requirements imposed by the 

Energy Policy Act of 1992. 

DATES: This rule is effective October 28, 

1994. The incorporation by reference of 

certain publications listed in the 

regulations is approved by the Director 

of the Federal Register as of October 28, 

1994. 

Written comments (eight copies) in 

response to this notice must be received 

by December 12, 1994.

Federal Register I Vol. 59, No.· 187 I Wednesday, September 28, 1994 I Rules and Regulations49469 

lamps and general service incandescent 

lamps. the subject of today's notice. 

Under the Act, the Program consists 

essentially of three parts: testing. 

labeling, and Federal energy 

conservation standards. The 

Department, in consultation with the 

National Institute of Standards and 

Technology, is required to amend or 

establish new test procedures as 

appropriate for each of the covered 

products. Section 323. Test procedures 

shall be reasonably designed to produce 

test results which measure energy 

efficiency, energy use, or estimated 

annual operating cost of a covered 

product .during a representative average 

use cycle or period of use and shall not 

be unduly burdensome to conduct. 

Section 323(b)(3). A test procedure is 

not required if the Department of Energy 

determines by rule that one cannot be 

developed. Section 323(d)(1). One 

hundred and eighty days after a test 

procedure for a product is adopted, no 

ma.'lufacturer may represent the energy 

consumption or cost of energy 

consumed by the product except as 

reflected in tests conducted according to 

the Department of Energy procedure. 

Section 323(c)(2). 

However, the 180-day period referred 

to in section 323(c)(2) may be extended 

for an additional 180 days if the 

Secretary determines that the 

requirements of section 323(c)(2) would 

impose undue burden. Section 

323(c)(3). Test procedures appear at 10 

CFR Part 430, subpart B. 

Labeling rules for household 

appliances and certain commercial 

products are ad.ministered by the 

Federal Trade Commission. 

Section 323(b)(6) of the Act al5o 

specifies that the Secretary shall 

prescribe test procedures for fluorescent 

lamps and incandescent reflector lamps 

taking into consideration the applicable 

standards of the illuminating 

Engineering Society or American 

National Standards.Institute. These test 

procedures have all been reviewed by 

the National Institute of Standards and 

Technology in consultation with the 

National Electrical Manufacturers --

Association. DOE has determined that 

these test procedures will meet its 

needs. Therefore, today's Interim Final 

Rule incorporates by reference: The test 

methods found in Illuminating 

Engineering Society test procedure LM9-88 for testing and measuring the 

performance of general service 

fluorescent lamps; Illuminating 

Engineering Society test procedures 

LM-56-1983, and LM-16-1984 and the 

International Commission on 

Illumination publication number 13.2-

1974 fo~ measuring the color rendering 

index of general service fluorescent 

lamps which is incorporated by 

reference in the Illuminating 

Engineering Society publication number 

LM-16-1984; and Illuminating 

Engineering Society test procedure LM20-1982 for testing and measuring the 

performance of incandescent reflector 

lamps. Additionally, today's Interim 

Final Rule incorporates by reference the 

test methods found in Illuminating 

Engineering Society test procedure LM66-1991 for testing and measuring the 

performance of medium base compact 

fluorescent lamps and illuminating 

Engineering Society test procedure LM4 5-91 for testing and measuring the 

performance of general service 

incandescent lamps. 

The above test procedures do not 

pro•ide for a measurement of annual 

energy consumption and annual 

operating cost which are needed to 

comply with the Act. Therefore, the 

Department's test procedures include a 

method of calculating the estimated 

annual energy consumption and the 

estimated annual operating cost. The 

Department is publishing elsewhere in 

this issue a Proposed Rule amending 

part 430 to define colored fluorescent 

and incandescent lamps and to define 

the exemption from energy conservation 

standards for a rough or vibration 

service incandescent reflector lamp. 

IL Discussion 

By this notice, the Department is 

adding a new section to establish test 

procedures for general service 

fluorescent and incandescent lamps. 

These test procedures will apply to 

those products covered by sections 

322(a1(14) and 325(i)(1) of the Act. 

A. Covered Product 

The definitions of covered products 

are found in section 322 of the Energy 

Policy and Conservation Act as 

amended. For lamps, covered products 

in section 322(a)(14) include only 

-specified fluorescent lamps, i.e., 4-foot 

medium bi-pin, 2-foot U-shaped, 8-foot 

slimline and 8-foot high output, and 

incandescent reflector-lamps. The 

Department believes that covered lamps 

in section 322(a}(14) of the Act should 

also include general service fluorescent 

lamps, medium base cmppact 

fluorescent lamps, and geneni.l service 

incandescent lamps as defined in· 

§ 430.2 of this notice, infra. Adding 

these lamps to the covered products 

would be consistent with section 

324(a)(2)(C)(i) of the Act~ which requires 

the Federal Trade Commission to label 

general service fluorescent lamps, 

medium base compact fluorescent 

lamps. and general service incandP.scent 

lamps. 

B. Test Procedure 

The Departmant is establishing test 

procedures in appendix R to subpart B 

of 10 CFR part 430 by reference to 

American National Standards Institute 

standards C78.1-1991, C78.2-1978, 

C78.3-1991, C78.375-1991, C82.3-1983, 

Illuminating Engineering Society 

standards LM-9-1988, lM-16-1984. 

LM-20-1982,LM-45-1991,lM-58--

1983, Ll..f-66-1991 and International 

Commission on Illumination 

publication 13.2-1974 which is 

incorporated by reference in the 

Illuminating Engineering Society 

publication number LM-16-1984. Any 

subsequent amendment to this standard 

by the standard-setting organizations. 

American National Standards Institute, 

the Illuminating Engineering Society, or 

the International Commission on 

Illumination, will not affect the 

Department of Energy test procedures. 

which can be amended only by the 

Department of Energy. This test 

procedure will provide, inter alia. 

results suitable for determining whether 

the covered lamps comply with the 

standard levels established by the Act. 

Although the Department's authority 

to prescribe test procedures under 

section 323(b)(6) is limited to 

fluorescent lamps and incandescent 

reflector lamps, the Department is 

incorporating by reference test 

procedures for general service 

incandescent lamps and medium base 

compact fluorescent lamps by authority 

of section 323(b)(2) of the Act, Data from 

these test procedures can also be used 

in the labeling program administered by 

the Federal Trade Commission. 

The test procedure for general service 

fluorescent lamps is a.method for 

measuring the lumen output of a 

seasoned lamp (the lamp is initially 

burned for 100 hours) in an integrating 

sphere or alternatively, by intensity 

distribution measurements (Illuminating 

Engineering Society LM-9-1988). 

Requirements for test conditions, 

equipment, instrumentation, 

procedures; and test report are included. 

The test procedure for general service 

incandescent lamps (Illuminating 

Engineering Society lM-45-1991) is a 

method for determining the luminous 

output of general service incandescent 

lamps based upon measurement Three 

methods are described in LM-45-1991, 

an integrating sphere, a goniometer, and 

substitution measurements, but the 

Department is incorporating only the 

integrating sphere and goniometer test 

methods because they are more 

accurate. Lamps shall be tested at 60 Hz 
59FR49468

49470Federal Register I Vol. .59, No. 187 I Wednesday, September 28, 1994 I Rules and Regulations 

and 120 volts regardless of their voltage 

rating . . The test procedure for incandescent 

reflector lamps (Illuminating · 

Engineering Society LM-20-1982) is a 

method for determining the luminous 

output of incandescent reflector lamps 

based upon measurement. Two methods 

are described in LM-20-1982, one using 

an integrating sphere, and the other 

using intensity distribution 

measurements. The Department of 

Energy test procedures incorporate only 

the intensity distribution measurement 

procedure because it is more accurate 

and measurements on similar lamps are 

more consistent. Requirements foi: test 

conditions, equipment, instrumentation, 

procedures and test report are included. 

The test procedure for medium base 

compact fluorescent lamps is a method 

for measurement of the lumen output of 

a seasoned lamp (100 hours bum-in) in 

an integrating sphere or by intensity 

distribution measurements (Illuminating 

Engineering Society LM-65-,-1991). The 

test procedure requires measurement of 

the lamp and ballast combination. 

Therefore, only section 4, reference 

ballasts, section 5, circuits, and section 

6, larnp connections, are incorporated 

from Illuminating Engineering Society 

LM-66-1991. Because measurements 

without a reference ballast.may exhibit 

greater variance in the lumen output 

and watt input measurements, the 

Department of Energy invites comments 

addressing the appropriate confidence 

bounds and sample size for these lamps. 

C. Basic Model 

The Department is including in . 

today's rulemaking definitions of "basic 

models" of general service fluorescent 

lamp. and general service incandescent 

lamp in § 430.2. These definitions will 

separate the various types of general 

service fluorescent lamps by electrical 

and photometric characteristics, e.g .. 

lamp efficacy, wattage, and color 

rendering index. General service 

incandescent lamps are distinguished 

by their w.attage and lamp efficacy. Each 

unit within a basic model must have the 

same electrical characteristics: 

Furthermore, each unit within a given 

basic model cannot have any.differing 

physical or functionalcharacteristics 

that affect energy consumption. 

D. Measures of Energy Consumption 

The Department of Energy in today's 

notice is adopting three measures of 

energy consumption: (a) Estimated 

annual operating cost,' (b) lamp efficacy, 

and (c) estimated annual energy 

consumption. These measures are to be · 

included in § 430.22(r). The estimated 

annual operating cost, lamp efficacy,. 

and estimated annual energy 

consumption will provide the consumer 

with three means of evaluating the 

energy efficiency of fluorescent and 

incandescent reflector lamps. The 

Department has based the calculations 

of the measures of energy consumption 

for general service fluorescent lamps on 

the use of Illuminating Engineering 

Society Standard LM-9-1988, for 

general service incandescent lamps on 

Illuminating Engineering Society 

Standard LM-45-1991, for incandescent 

reflector lamps on Illuminating 

Engineering Society Standard LM-20-

1982 and for medium base compact 

fluorescent lamps on Illuminating 

Engineering Society Standard LM-66-

1991. 

• The estimated annual operating cost 

is expressed in dollars p~r year. It is the 

product of the Department of Energy 

representative unit energy cost for 

electricity, the input power, and the 

representative average use cycle. • The estimated annual energy 

consumption is expressed in kilowatthours per year. It is the product of the 

input power and the representative 

average use cycle. • The lamp efficacy is a ratio of lamp 

lumen output to total input wattage as 

determined by the use of the 

measurement procedures in 

Illuminating Engineering Society LM-9--

1988, LM-20-1962, LM-45-1991 or 

LM-66-1991. 

E. Color Rendering.Index (CRJ) 

The Color Rendering Index is 

referenced in Illuminating Engineering 

Society LM-16-1964 which the. 

Department is incorporating by 

reference. This guide discusses several 

techniques for assessing light source 

color appearance. The relationship 

between color appearance and light 

source spectral power distribution is 

discussed, along with the systems for 

classifying color appearance. The basics 

of spectroradiometry and colorimetry 

are covered. 

The Color Rendering Index is 

determined by measuring the degree of 

cojor shift objects undergo when 

illuminated by a light source as 

compared with the color of.those same 

objects when illuminated by· a reference 

source of comparable color temperature. 

This index is determined pursuant to 

the International Commission on 

Illumination Publication 13.2-1974 

which the Department is incorporating 

by reference. The method uses 

spectroradiometric measurements and a 

detailed calculation procedure. It is 

applicable to most general purpose lamp 

types including general service 

fluorescent and incandescent lamps, 

incandescent reflector lamps and 

compact fluorescent lamps. 

Spectroradiometric measurements 

and equipment setup follow the 

guidance in Illuminating Engineering 

Society LM-58-1983 which is being, 

incorporated by reference. This guide 

describes the equipment used in making 

spectroradiometric measurements, the 

procedures to be followed in using the 

equipment, and the precautions that 

should be taken to obtain consistently 

valid results. The methods are 

applicable to all lamp types, and are 

based on the measurement of the 

complete spectral power distribution of 

the source. Data presentation and error 

analysis are discussed. 

F. Number of Units to be Tested 

The Act specifies that applicable 

fluorescent and incandescent reflector 

lamps shall meet the standard. 

Furthermore, the Act requires that the 

certification report include the lumen 

output and wattage consumption for 

each lamp type as an average of 

measurements taken over the preceding 

12 months. The Department believes 

that the sampling plan for fluorescent 

and incandescent reflector lamps 

provides a sound statistical basis for 

measurements. 

The Department is adopting at 

§ 430.23{r) a sampling plan based on a 

99 percent confidence level for testing 

general service fluorescent lamps, 

general service incandbscent lamps, 

incandescent reflector lamps, and 

medium base compact fluorescent 

lamps. The sampling provisions the 

DepartmentofEnergyisadoptingtoday 

require testing a minimum sample of 20 

lamps. The manufacturer must 

randomly select three lamps per month 

for any 7 of the 12 months required to 

determine the average. If there.are less 

than 7 months' production, the 

manufacturer may divide the minimum 

sample of 20 as evenly as possible into 

each month of pi;oduL'tion. The 

provision for less than 7 month's 

production is to cover production runs 

of special or limited lamps which are 

subject to regulation. 

The same sample of 20 lamps which 

were used for lamp efficacy testing shall 

be used for measurement of the Color 

Rendering Index. The Department 

believes that this testing requirement 

will satisfy the standard which calls for 

lamp efficacy and color rendering index 

measurements. 

The Department believes these 

provisiOns promote the objectives of the 

Act while minimizing the burden on 

manufacturers; Manufacturers and other 

interested pe,rsons are encouraged to 
59FR49468 . . . Federal Register I Vol. ·59, No. ·187 I Wednesday. September 28, 1994 I Rules and Regulations49471 

comment on this sampling approach, as 

well as the underlying assumptions. 

G. Laboratory Accreditation 

The Act at section 323(b)(6), directs 

DOE to prescribe test procedures which 

must be carried out by accredited test 

laboratories. The Department herein 

defines an accredited laboratory as one 

which meets the standards and 

requirements of the National Voluntary 

Laboratory Accreditation Program, a 

division of the National Institute of 

Standards and Technology of the United 

States Department of Commerce. Test 

laboratory accreditation by the National 

Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation 

Program is based on conformance with 

criteria published in 15 CFR part 285 

and in the National Voluntary 

Laboratory Accreditation Program 

Handbook 150-01, "Energy Efficient 

Lighting Products, Lamps and 

Luminaires," August 1993. The National 

Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation 

Program Handbook 150-01 is available 

for inspection in the DOE reading room 

from 9 to 4, Monday through Friday or 

may be ordered from the National 

Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation 

Program, Building 411, Room A162, 

Gaithersburg. MD 20899. 

The National Voluntary Laboratory 

Accreditation Program has mutual 

recognition agreements with the 

following countries: Canada, New 

Zealand, Australia and Great Britain. 

These agreements, with the aforesaid 

countries, allow foreign test laboratories 

to be recognized by the National 

Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation 

Program. The National Voluntary 

Laboratory Accreditation Program will 

also directly accredit foreign test 

laboratories. Costs for laboratory 

accreditation are borne by the test 

laboratory. 

H. Certification Data 

The Department is adding a new 

paragraph for lamp certification data at 

§ 430.62(a)(2). The lamp manufacturers' 

certification report must include the 

National Voluntary Laboratory 

Accreditation Program identification -- number, production date codes, lamp 

efficacy, Color Rendering Index. where 

applicable, lamp wattage, brand names 

and model designation. Since lamps. 

manufactured prior to the effective date 

of the standards may be in the 

distribution system for some time, lamp 

manufacturers should advise DOE on 

how to interpret their production date 

coding system in the certification report. 

All other requirements of§ 430.62 and 

Appendix A, Compliance Statement, 

also apply to general service fluorescent 

lamps and incandescent reflector lamps. 

I. Energy Conservation Standards 

The Act prescribes, and today's notice 

includes in § 430.32, energy 

co:aservation standards for general 

service fluorescent and incandescent 

reflector lamps. There are no standards 

for general service incandescent lamps 

or medium base compact fluorescent 

lamps. 

]. Definitions' 

By this notice, the Department of 

Energy is amending the definition of 

"Act" as it appears in§ 430.2. The 

amended definition will include the 

Energy Policy Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102-

486). The legislated definitions for 

incandescent lamp, general service 

incandescent lamp, fluorescent lamp, 

general service fluorescent lamp, and 

medium base compact fluorescent lamp 

are included in § 430.2. Note that there 

is an inconsistency in the Act between 

the definition for "fluorescent lamp" 

and the definition for "medium base 

compact fluorescent lamp." The 

definition for "fluorescent lamp" only 

includes four lamp types and does not 

include a medium base compact 

fluorescent lamp. Faced with this 

conflict, the Department has included 

the definition of "medium base compact 

fluorescent lamp" and has included test 

procedures as noted above. The 

Department has also defined cold 

temperature lamp in § 430.2 from an 

industry standard. 

The Act provides for an exemption 

from the standards for lamps 

specifically designed for cold 

temperature installations. See 

§ 321(30)(B)(ii). The Department is 

defining "cold temperature" lamps as 

those lamps specifically designated and 

marketed for outdoor or cold 

temperature use and that are designed to 

start at - 20°F when used with a ballast 

conforming to the requirements of 

American National Standards Institute 

standard C78.1. 

Lamps that meet these requirements 

would not be subject to standards. In 

order to qualify for the exemption, the 

lamps must be "specifically" designed 

for cold temperature installations and 

must be specifically designated and 

marketed as such in catalogs, sales 

literature and other promotional 

material. 

K. Prohibited Acts and Penalties 

Since the Energy Policy Act of 1992 

(EPAct) amends the Energy Policy and 

Conservation Act (EPCA), the 

enforcement provisions may not be 

apparent. Therefore, the following 

statements reiterate the provisions from 

the Energy Policy and Conservation Act · 

in section 332 and the regulations at 10 

CFR Section 430.61. The statute 

prohibits the following actions: 

(1) For any manufacturer or private 

labeler to distribute in commerce any 

new covered product to which a rule 

under section 324 applies, unless such 

covered product is labeled in 

accordance with such rule; 

(2) For any manufacturer, distributor, 

retailer, or private labeler to remove 

from any new covered product or render 

illegible any label required to be 

provided with such product under a 

rule under section 324; 

(3) For any manufacturer to fail to 

permit access to, or copying of, records 

required to be supplied under this part, 

or fail to make reports or provide other 

information required to be supplied 

under this part; 

(4) For any person to fail to comply

section 326(a), (b)(2), (b)(3). or (b)(5); or 

(5) for any manufacturer or private 

labeler to distribute in commerce any 

new covered product which is not in 

conformity with an applicable energy 

conservation standard established in or 

prescribed under this part. · The maximum penalties are $100 for 

each violation. Each violation of (1), (2)

Ill. Environmental Review 

Pursuant to section 7(c)(2) of the 

Federal Energy Administration Act of 

1974 (Pub. L. 93-275), a copy of this 

notice has been submitted to the 

Administrator of the Environmental 

Protection Agency for comment 

concerning the impact of this proposal 

on the quality of the environment. 

Since test procedures are used to 

standardize the measurement of energy 

usage, and will not affect the quality or 

distribution of energy usage, prescribing 

test procedures will not result in any 

environmental impacts. The Department 

.of Energy, therefore, has determined 

that prescribing test procedures under 

the Program is not a major Federal 

action significantly affecting the quality 

of the human environment within the 

meaning of the.National Environmental 

Policy Act of 1969. 

This Rulemaking, which amends 

existing part 430 oftitle 10, will not 

change the environmental effect of such 

regulation, and is an item which is 

"categorically excluded (A6)" by the 

Department of Energy's regulations on 

National Environmental Policy Act 

Implementing Procedures {10 CFR part 

1021) (57·FR 15122, April 24, 1992) 
59FR49468

49472Feder~ .Register I Vol. 59, No. 187 I Wednesday, September 28, 1994 I Rules and Regulations 

(Appendix A to subpart D, Categorical 

Exclusion A6.). Consequently, neither 

an Environmental Impact Statement nor · 

an Environmental Assessment is 

required for this rule. 

IV. Regulatory Planning and Review 

Today's regulatory action has been 

determined not to be a "significant 

regulatory action" under Executive 

Order 12866, "Regulatory Planning and 

Review," (58 FR 51735, October 4, 

1993). Accordingly, today's action was 

not subject to review under the 

Executive Order by the Office of 

Information and Regulatory Affairs. 

V. Regulatory Flexibility Act 

The Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. 

L. 96-345) (5 U.S.C. 601-612) requires 

. that an agency prepare an initial 

regulatory flexibility analysis and that it 

be published at the time the Interim 

Final Rule is published. This 

requirement (which appears in section 

603) does not apply if the agency 

"certifies that the rule will not, if 

promulgated, have a significant 

economic impact on a substantial 

number of small entities." This rule 

affects manufacturers of general service 

fluorescent and incandescent lamps. As 

previously discussed, the test 

procedures would not have significant 

economic impact, but rather, would 

provide common testing methods. 

Therefore, the Department of Energy 

certifies that this rule, if promulgated, 

would not have a "significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities." 

prevails must be made on a case-by-case 

basis using criteria set forth in the Act. 

When the Department of Energy 

receives such a petition, it will then.be 

appropriate to consider preparing a 

federalism assessment consistent with 

the .criteria in the Act.

whether these standards fully complied 

with the requirements of section 32(b), 

i.e., that they are developed in a manner 

which fully provided for public 

participation, comment, and review. 

As required by section 32(c), the 

Department of Energy will consult with 

the Attorney General and the Chairman 

of the Federal Trade Commission 

concerning the impact of these 

standards on competition, prior to 

issuing a notice of Final Rulemaking. 

VIII. Interim Final Effect 

The Interim Final Rule establishes the 

Department of Energy test procedures 

for general service fluorescent lamps, 

general service incandescent lamps, 

incandescent reflector lamps, and 

medium base compact fluorescent 

lamps incorporating by reference 

industry standards. This Interim Final 

Rule allows· the Department of Energy to 

promulgate test procedures so that lamp 

manufacturers can meet the schedule 

imposed by the Energy Policy Act of 

1992. Section 123(0(2). The normal 

rulemaking process would be 

impracticable and contrary to the public 

interest because the process would not 

allow for promulgation of a final rule in 

time for manufacturers to complete 

testing for certification. 

The Energy Policy Act of 1992 

requires manufacturers to test lamps for 

a 12-month period preceding the date 

standards are to take effect in order to 

certify that the lamps meet the standard. 

Section 123(0(2). For two lamp types, 

the Energy Policy Act specifies that the 

effective date for standards to take effect 

is April 30, 1994 and for others the 

effective date is October 31, 1995. 

Section 123(0. Until a test procedure is · prescribed, compliance with the 

standard cannot be determined. This 

interim final rule will allow 

manufacturers to begin the 12-month 

testing period to determine compliance 

with the standards. The Department 

could not practicably facilitate such a 

result if a proposed rule were necessary. 

It is in the public interest to facilitate 

that result and therefore to issue this 

interim final regulation without 

providing for public comment prior to 

giving them final effect. 5 U.S.C. 553. 

However, the Department of Energy is 

providing for a post-publication public 

comment period and expects to respond 

to relevant comments in a notice of 

Final Rulemaking.
