PUBLIC MEETING ON ENERGY CONSERVATION STANDARDS
 

FOR
 

SMALL ELECTRIC MOTORS
 

U.S. Department of Energy
 

1000 Independence Avenue, SW.
 

Washington, DC 20585
 

Friday, January 30, 2009
 

9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. ET, Room 1E­245
 

Purpose

The Department of Energy (DOE) seeks comments, information, and data from interested

parties on its Preliminary Technical Support Document, including classes of small

electric motors that it plans to analyze for the purposes of establishing energy

conservation standards; the analytical framework, models, and tools that it is using to

evaluate standards for these motors; the results of preliminary analyses; and potential

energy conservation standards levels.
