Dear COMMITTEE MEMBER:

Since Vice President Gore's National Performance Review recommendations

were issued on September 7, 1993, and consistent with Secretary O'Leary's

commitment to stakeholder consultation. the Department of Energy (Department

or DOE) has launched a variety of measures to streamline and enhance our energy

efficiency rulemaking responsibilities. Over the last year, we have invited

interest group participation in the early stages of development of rulemaking

proposals rather than simply reacting to comments after the fact. Moreover we

have strongly encouraged interested parties to work toward agreement-based

proposals to minimize government prescription. I am proud of these efforts but

appreciate that there is more work to do.

The Department is committed to enhancing the standards setting process in

conjunction with appliance manufacturers, energy conservation advocates, states,

utilities, and other interested parties. The purpose of this letter is to request your

participation in a voluntary ad hoc committee to provide critical review and

guidance. The first formal meeting of the committee will be held on Monday,

November 2,,J,i 1995, from 1:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. at the Department, 1000

Independence Avenue, SW, Washington. D.C. A meeting agenda will be sent to

you in the near future.

As part of our effort to make continuous improvements, we are conducting a

retrospective analysis of DOE's appliance standards program consisting of

interviews with stakeholders to gather information on the impacts of some

existing appliance standards. This information will be used to develop

recommendations and a research agenda for improving the standards development

process.

The Department expects to present its findings concerning the standards program

in a series of public workshops, the first of which will be scheduled in early

APPLIANCE STANDARDS ANALYSIS/PROCESS IMPROVEMENT

The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended by the National Energy Conservation

Policy Act, the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act, the National Appliance Energy

Conservation Amendments of 1988 and the Energy Policy Act of 1992 prescribes energy

conservation standards for certain major household appliances, .and requires the Department of

Energy (Department or DOE) to administer an energy conservation program for these

products. One element of the program is to review and modify, where appropriate, the

standards prescribed by statute.

The Department is committed to making any necessary revisions of the standards setting

process in conjunction with appliance manufacturers, energy conservation advocates,. states,

utilities, and other interested parties. The Department's review program consists of the

following:

1. Retrospective Analysis: With input from manufacturers, energy conservation advocates and

other interested parties, assess the impact of the standards to date on energy use, product

features, industry structure and the overall competitive environment.

2. Review of Standards Rulemaking Process and Methodology: Institute independent third

party review of the standards rulemaking processes and methodology to identify any areas

needing refinement. This evaluation will include workshops and opportunities for public

comment.

• Processes: The review will consider ways to improve stakeholder consultation

to ensure that the concerns of each group are identified and properly addressed.

Among other issues the Department will explore the relationship between

market-pull approaches and standards, how to allow multiple technology paths

and how to refine estimates of manufacturer impact given various levels of data

made available.

• Analytical Methodology: The Department will review the soundness of the

models it uses in developing revised standards. During this review, the

Department will consider adding to its analysis a number of factors not

included in the models it currently uses, such as the impact of standards on

small manufacturers and the impact of standards on the utility of the product in

certain applications. .

3. Implementation of Recommended Improvements: Make any necessary changes to the

standards process/methodology, such as revising the engineering analysis fora particular

product or revising the manufacturer impact model. Use any modified models to perform the

analysis for selected test cases and share the results with interested parties for their comments.

DOE needs this understanding of the impacts of appliance standards-setting activities in order

to recommend changes which will balance governmental, societal, and industry interests. This

initiative supports Administration and Congressional objectives of more efficient use of

energy and greater consumer savings consistent with a robust competitive environment for our

appliance manufacturers.
