lamps andgeneral service incandescent lamps. the subject oftoday's notice.

Underthe Act, the Program consists essentially ofthree parts: testing. labeling, and Federal energy conservation standards. The Department, in consultation with the National Institute ofStandards and Technology, isrequired to amend or establish new test procedures as appropriate for each ofthe covered products. Section 323. Test procedures shall be reasonably designed to produce
test results whichmeasure energy efficiency, energy use, or estimated annual operating cost ofa covered product .during a representative average

use cycle or period ofuse and shall not be undulyburdensome to conduct. Section 323(b)(3). A test procedure is
not required ifthe Department ofEnergy determines by rule that one cannotbe 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 ofenergy consumed by the product except as reflected in tests conducted according to the Department ofEnergy 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 ofsection 323(c)(2) would impose undueburden. Section 323(c)(3). Test procedures appear at 10 CFR Part 430, subpart B.

Labeling rules for household appliances and certaincommercial products are ad.ministered by the Federal Trade Commission.

Section 323(b)(6) ofthe Act al5o specifies that the Secretary shall prescribe test procedures for fluorescent lamps and incandescentreflector lamps taking into consideration the applicable standards ofthe illuminating Engineering Society orAmerican National Standards.Institute. These test procedures have allbeenreviewed by the National Institute ofStandards and Technology in consultation withthe National Electrical Manufacturers

-- Association. DOE has determined that these test procedures will meet its needs. Therefore, today's Interim Final Rule incorporatesby reference: Thetest methods found inIlluminating Engineering Society test 

### procedure LM9-88 for testing andmeasuringthe performance ofgeneral service fluorescent lamps; Illuminating Engineering Society test procedures LM-56-1983, andLM-16-1984 and the 

### International Commissionon Illumination publication number 13.2- 1974**fo~** 

### measuring the color rendering index ofgeneral service fluorescent lamps which is incorporated by reference inthe Illuminating Engineering Society publication number LM-16-1984; and Illuminating Engineering Society test procedure LM20-1982 for testing and measuring the performance ofincandescent reflector lamps. Additionally, today's Interim Final Rule incorporates by reference the
test methods found inIlluminating Engineering Society test procedure LM66-1991 for testing andmeasuring the performance ofmedium base compact fluorescent lamps and illuminating Engineering Society test procedure LM4

### 5-91 for testing and measuring the performance ofgeneral service incandescent lamps.

The above test procedures do not pro•ide for a measurement ofannual
energy consumption andannual operating cost which are needed to comply with the Act. Therefore, the Department's test procedures include a method ofcalculating 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 andto define the exemption from energy conservation standards for a rough orvibration service incandescent reflector lamp.

### Discussion

By this notice, theDepartment is adding a new section to establish test procedures for general service fluorescent and incandescent lamps. These test procedures will apply to those products coveredby sections 322(a1(14) and 325(i)(1) ofthe Act.

A. Covered Product



### The definitions ofcovered products

are found in section 322 ofthe Energy Policy and Conservation Act as amended.Forlamps,covered products in section 322(a)(14) include only -specified fluorescent lamps, i.e., 4-foot mediumbi-pin, 2-foot U-shaped, 8-foot slimline and 8-foothigh output, and incandescentreflector-lamps. The Departmentbelievesthatcovered lamps in section 322(a}(14) ofthe Act should also include general service fluorescent lamps, medium base cmppact fluorescent lamps, and geneni.l service incandescent lamps as defined in· § 

### 430.2 ofthis notice, 

### infra. Adding these lampsto the covered products wouldbe consistentwith section 324(a)(2)(C)(i) ofthe**Act~** 

### whichrequires theFederal Trade Commission to label general service fluorescent lamps, mediumbase compact fluorescent lamps. and general service incandP.scent lamps.

B. Test Procedure



### The Departmant is establishing test procedures in appendix Rto 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 byreference in the Illuminating Engineering Society publication numberLM-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 ofEnergy test procedures. which canbe amended only by the Department ofEnergy. This test procedure will provide, interalia. 

### 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 lampsby authority ofsection 323(b)(2) ofthe Act, Data from these test procedures can also be used 

### inthe labeling program administered by the FederalTrade Commission.

The test procedure for general service fluorescent lamps is a.method for measuring the lumen output ofa seasoned lamp (the lamp is initially burned for 100 hours) in anintegrating sphere oralternatively,by intensity distribution measurements (Illuminating Engineering Society LM-9-1988). Requirements for test conditions, equipment, instrumentation, procedures; and testreport are included.

The test procedure for general service incandescent lamps (Illuminating Engineering Society lM-45-1991) is a method for determining the luminous output ofgeneral service incandescent lamps basedupon measurement 

### Three methods are described in

### LM-45-1991,

an integrating sphere, a goniometer, and substitutionmeasurements, butthe Department isincorporating onlythe integrating sphere and goniometertest methods because they are more accurate. Lamps shall be tested at 60 Hz

and 120 volts regardless oftheirvoltage rating

.

. The test procedure for incandescent reflector lamps (Illuminating · Engineering Society LM-20-1982) is a method for determining the luminous output ofincandescentreflector lamps based upon measurement. Two methods

are described in LM-20-1982, one using

an integrating sphere, andthe 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 mediumbase compact fluorescent lamps is a method for measurement ofthe lumen output of

a seasoned lamp (100 hoursbum-in) in

an integrating sphere orby 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 ofEnergy invites comments addressing the appropriate confidence bounds and sample size for these lamps.

C. BasicModel

The Department isincluding in

. today's rulemaking definitions of"basic models" ofgeneral service fluorescent lamp. and general service incandescent lamp in §430.2. These definitions will separate the various types ofgeneral service fluorescent lamps by electrical and photometric characteristics, e.g

.. lamp efficacy, wattage, andcolor rendering index. General service incandescent lamps are distinguished bytheir w.attage and lamp efficacy. Each unit within a basic modelmust have the

same electrical characteristics: Furthermore, eachunitwithina given basic model cannothave any.differing physical or functionalcharacteristics that affect energy consumption.

D. Measures of Energy Consumption
The Department ofEnergy intoday's notice is adopting threemeasures of
energy consumption: (a) Estimated annual operating cost,' (b) lamp efficacy, and (c) estimated annualenergy consumption. These measures are tobe · included in §430.22(r). Theestimated annualoperating cost, lamp efficacy,. and estimated annual energy consumption will provide the consumer with three means ofevaluating the
energy efficiency offluorescent and incandescent reflector lamps. The Department has based the calculations ofthe measures ofenergy consumption for general service fluorescent lamps on the use ofIlluminating 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 ofthe Department ofEnergy representative unit energy cost for electricity, the input power, and the representative average use cycle.

• The estimated annual energy consumption is expressed inkilowatthours per year. It is the product ofthe 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 ofthe
measurement procedures in Illuminating Engineering Society LM-9-- 1988, LM-20-1962, LM-45-1991 or LM-66-1991.

E. ColorRendering.Index (CRJ)

The Color Rendering Index is referenced in Illuminating Engineering Society LM-16-1964 which the. Department isincorporating by reference. This guide discusses several techniques for assessing light source color appearance. Therelationship between color appearance and light

source spectral power distribution is discussed, along with the systems for classifying color appearance. Thebasics ofspectroradiometry and colorimetry

are covered.

The Color Rendering Index is determinedbymeasuringthe degree of cojorshiftobjects undergo when illuminated by a light source as compared withthe colorof.those same objects whenilluminatedby· a reference

source ofcomparable colortemperature. This index is determined pursuantto theInternational Commission on Illumination Publication 13.2-1974 which the Departmentisincorporating byreference. Themethod uses spectroradiometric measurements and a detailed calculationprocedure. Itis applicable tomost 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 shouldbe taken to obtain consistently validresults. The methods are applicable to all lamp types, and are based onthe measurement ofthe complete spectral power distribution of the source. Data presentation and error analysis are discussed.

F. Number ofUnits to be Tested

The Act specifies that applicable fluorescent and incandescent reflector lamps shall meet the standard. Furthermore, the Actrequires that the certificationreport include the lumen output and wattage consumption for each lamp type as an average of
measurements taken over the preceding 12 months. The Departmentbelieves thatthe 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 mediumbase compact fluorescent lamps. The sampling provisions the DepartmentofEnergyisadoptingtoday require testing a minimum sample of20 lamps. The manufacturermust randomly select three lamps per month for any 7 ofthe 12 months required to determine the average. Ifthere.are less than 7 months' production, the manufacturer may divide the minimum sample of20 as evenly as possible into each month ofpi;oduL'tion. The provision for less than 7 month's production is to coverproduction runs ofspecial or limited lamps which are subjectto regulation.

The same sample of20 lamps which

were used for lamp efficacytesting shall 

### be used for measurement ofthe Color Rendering Index. The Department believes that this testing requirement will satisfy the standard which calls for lamp efficacy and colorrendering index
measurements.

TheDepartmentbelieves these provisiOns promote the objectives ofthe Actwhile minimizing the burden on manufacturers; Manufacturers and other interested pe,rsons are encouraged to.

comment onthis sampling approach, as well as the underlying assumptions.

G. LaboratoryAccreditation



### The Act at section 323(b)(6), directs DOE to prescribe test procedures which
must be carried outby accredited test laboratories. The Departmentherein defines an accredited laboratory as one which meets the standards and requirements ofthe National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program, a division ofthe National Institute of Standards and Technology ofthe United States Department ofCommerce. 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 inthe 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, withthe aforesaid countries, allow foreign test laboratories
to be recognized bythe National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program. The National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program will also directly accredit foreign test laboratories. Costs for laboratory accreditation are borneby thetest 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 priorto the effective date ofthe standards maybeinthe distribution system for some time, lamp manufacturers should advise DOE on how to interpret theirproduction date coding system inthe certification report. All otherrequirements of§430.62 and Appendix A, Compliance Statement, also apply to general service fluorescent lamps and incandescentreflector 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.

TheAct provides for an exemption from the standards for lamps specifically designed for cold temperature installations. See § 

### 321(30)(B)(ii). The Department is defining "coldtemperature" 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 thatmeet these requirements would notbe subjectto 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 otherpromotional material.

K. ProhibitedActs andPenalties



### Since the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct) amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), the enforcement provisions may notbe apparent.Therefore, the following
statements reiterate the provisions from the Energy Policy and ConservationAct · in section 332 and the regulations at 10 CFR Section 430.61. The statute prohibits the following actions:

(1) For any manufacturer orprivate 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 underthis 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 with an applicable requirement of 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) and (5), above, shall constitute a separate violation with respect to each covered product, and each day of violation of(3) and (4), above, shall constitute a separate violation.

Ill. Environmental Review

Pursuant to section 7(c)(2) ofthe FederalEnergy Administration Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93-275), a copy ofthis notice has been submitted to the Administrator ofthe Environmental Protection Agency for comment concerning the impact ofthis proposal

on the quality ofthe environment.

Since test procedures are used to standardize the measurement ofenergy usage, and will notaffect the quality or distribution ofenergy usage, prescribing
test procedures will notresult in any environmental impacts. The Department .ofEnergy, therefore, has determined that prescribing test procedures under the Program is not a major Federal action significantly affecting the quality ofthe human environment within the meaning ofthe.National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.

This Rulemaking, which amends existing part 430 oftitle 10, will not change the environmental effect ofsuch regulation, and is an item which is "categorically excluded (A6)" by the Department ofEnergy's regulations on National Environmental Policy Act ImplementingProcedures {10 CFR part 1021) (57·FR 15122, April 24, 1992)

(Appendix A to subpart D, Categorical Exclusion A6.). Consequently, neither

an Environmental Impact Statement nor ·
anEnvironmental 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 underthe Executive Orderby 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 ifthe agency "certifies that the rule will not, if promulgated, have a significant economic impact on a substantial numberofsmall entities." This rule affects manufacturers ofgeneral service fluorescent and incandescentlamps. As previously discussed, the test procedures would nothave significant economic impact, but rather, would provide common testing methods. Therefore, the Department ofEnergy certifies that this rule, ifpromulgated, wouldnot have a "significant economic impact on a substantial number ofsmall entities." prevails mustbe made on a case-by-case basis using criteria set forth in the Act. When the Department ofEnergy receives such a petition, itwill then.be appropriate to consider preparing a federalism assessment consistent with the .criteria inthe Act.

VII. Review UnderSection 32 ofthe Federal Energy Administration Authorization Act

The Interim Final Rule establishes the Department ofEnergy test procedures for general service fluorescent lamps, general service incandescent lamps, incandescentreflector lamps, and mediumbase compact fluorescent lamps incorporatingbyreference industry standards. This Interim Final Rule allows· the Department ofEnergy 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 wouldbe impracticable and contrary to the public interestbecause the process would not allow for promulgation ofa final rule in time for manufacturers to complete testing for certification.

TheEnergy Policy Act of 1992 requires manufacturers to test lamps for

a 12-month period precedingthe date standards are to take effect in order to certify that the lamps meet the standard. Section 123(0(2). Fortwo lamp types, the Energy Policy Act specifies that the effective date for standards to take effect isApril 30, 1994 and for others the effective date is October 31, 1995. Section 123(0. Until a testprocedure 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 withthe standards. TheDepartment couldnot practicably facilitate such a result if

## a proposedrule were necessary. Itis inthe public interest to facilitate thatresult and therefore to issue this interim final regulation without providing for public comment priorto giving them final effect. 5 U.S.C. 553. However, the Department ofEnergy is providing for a post-publication public
comment period and expects to respond
to relevant comments in a notice of Final Rulemaking.
