Title: Price Competitive Sale of Strategic Petroleum Reserve Petroleum; Standard

Abstract: On December 21, 1983, the Department of Energy (DOE) published in the Federal Register a final rule which governs the price competitive sales of

petroleum from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) in the event that the SPR is drawn down to respond to a severe energy supply interruption or to meet

obligations of the United States under the agreement on an International Energy Program. The final rule provides for the publication and periodic update, as an

appendix to the rule, of Standard Sales Provisions (SSPs) containing or describing contract clauses, terms and conditions of sale, and performance and financial

responsibility measures which may be used for particular sales of SPR petroleum. First published in interim final form on January 20, 1984, the SSPs have since

been updated several times, with the latest version published in the Federal Register on July 7, 2005 (70 FR 39364). DOE is planning to update the SSP's.

Title: Energy Conservation Standards for General Service Lamps

Abstract: Amendments to Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) direct DOE to conduct two

rulemaking cycles to determine whether standards for GSLs should be amended, the first of which must be initiated no later than January 1, 2014. EISA

specifically states that the scope of the rulemaking is not limited to incandescent lamp technologies. EISA also states that DOE must consider in the first

rulemaking cycle the minimum backstop requirement of 45 lumens per watt for GSLs effective January 1, 2020 established by EISA. This rulemaking constitutes

DOE's first rulemaking cycle.

Title: Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Heating, Air-Conditioning, and Water-Heating Equipment--ASHRAE 90.1-2013

Abstract: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), as amended, directs Department DOE to establish energy conservation standards for certain

commercial and industrial equipment, including commercial heating, air-conditioning, and water-heating equipment. Of particular relevance here, the statute also

requires that each time the corresponding consensus standard−the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc. (ASHRAE),

Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) Standard 90.1−is amended by the industry, DOE must assess whether there is a need to update the uniform national energy

conservation standards for the same equipment covered under EPCA. ASHRAE officially released an amended version of this industry standard (ASHRAE

Standard 90.1-2013), on October 9, 2013, thereby triggering DOE's related obligations under EPCA. DOE has initiated this rulemaking to evaluate the contents of

ASHRAE 90.1-2013 pursuant to its obligations under EPCA.

Title: Fossil Fuel Energy Consumption Reduction for New Construction and Major Renovations of Federal Buildings

Abstract: This rulemaking implements provisions of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 that require the Department of Energy (DOE) to establish

revised-performance standards for the construction of all new Federal buildings, including commercial, multi-family high-rise residential and low-rise residential

buildings. This rulemaking specifically addresses the reduction of fossil fuel-generated energy consumption in new buildings and buildings undergoing major

renovations, as well as how agencies may petition DOE for a downward adjustment of the requirements if they believe meeting required energy reduction levels

would be technically impracticable.

was addressed on October 31, 2011 (76 FR 67037). DOE intends to select one of these three approaches, or a combination of elements in these approaches, as

a framework for an enforcement plan for regional standards. DOE is also considering a possible waiver process for regional standards applicability. DOE is

required to promulgate an enforcement final rule covering the enforcement of regional standards "[n]ot later than 15 months after the date of the issuance of a

final rule that establishes a regional standard." 42 U.S.C. 6295(o)(6)(G)(ii)(III).

Title: Energy Conservation Standards for Residential Water Heaters Waiver Procedures

Abstract: DOE amended its standards for residential water heaters on April 16, 2010, and compliance with the amended standards is required beginning on April

16, 2015. Of particular relevance, the amended standards for residential water heaters raised the minimum requirements for electric storage water heaters with

storage volumes above 55 gallons to levels that are currently achieved through the use of heat pump water heater technology. This rulemaking would establish a

waiver process that would mitigate the concerns of utility companies regarding the implementation of the April 2010 standard levels by allowing for the

manufacture of certain large-volume electric storage water heaters provided that they meet a set of conditions discussed in this proposed rule.

Title: Test Procedure for Residential Dehumidifiers

Abstract: EPCA requires that DOE amend the test procedure at least once every 7 years, unless it determines that the existing test procedure does not need to

be amended. (42 U.S.C. 6293(b)(1)). DOE is considering amending the residential dehumidifier test procedure to address active mode issues in this rulemaking.

DOE addressed standby mode and off mode energy use, as well as certain active mode provisions, in the dehumidifier test procedure in a separate rulemaking,

issued on October 10, 2012. In addition, DOE is considering amended energy conservation standards for residential dehumidifiers in a rulemaking for which a

notice of proposed rulemaking is expected to publish in 2015. Therefore, DOE expects to publish this test procedure final rule in advance of the 2019 EPCA

Title: Energy Conservation Standards for Small, Large, and Very Large Commercial Package A/C and Heating Equipment

Abstract: Pursuant to section 5(b) of the American Energy Manufacturing Technical Corrections Act (Pub. L. No. 112-210), the U.S. Department of Energy

(DOE) is initiating an effort to determine whether to amend the current energy conservation standards for certain commercial air-conditioning and heating

equipment. DOE will determine whether national standards more stringent than those that are currently in place would result in a significant amount of additional

energy savings and whether those national standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified. Because the standards for this equipment have

not been updated within the past six years, DOE must issue either a determination that the standards do not need to be amended or a notice of proposed

Title: Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Warm Air Furnaces

Abstract: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), as amended, prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and

certain commercial and industrial equipment, including commercial warm air furnaces (CWAF). EPCA also requires that every six years, the U.S. Department of

Energy (DOE) must consider amending its standards for specified types of commercial heating, air-conditioning, and water-heating equipment in order to

determine whether more-stringent, amended standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would save a significant additional

amount of energy. Because DOE had not done a rulemaking for CWAF in the past 6 years, it was required to publish either: (1) a notice of determination that

standards do not need to be amended, or (2) a notice of proposed rulemaking containing proposed standards for CWAF by December 31, 2013. DOE has

tentatively concluded that there is sufficient record evidence to support more-stringent standards, so DOE plans to propose to amend the current energy

conservation standards for certain CWAF. Once complete, this rulemaking will satisfy DOE's above-referenced statutory obligation.

Abstract: DOE has tentatively determined that hearth products qualify as a covered product under Part A of Title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act

(EPCA), as amended. More specifically, DOE has tentatively determined that hearth products meet the criteria for covered products because classifying products

of such type as covered products is necessary, or appropriate, to carry out the purposes of EPCA (which is to improve the efficiency of covered consumer

products to conserve the energy resources of the Nation), and the average annual U.S. household energy use for hearth products is likely to exceed 100 kilowatthours (kWh) per year.

Title: Test Procedures for Ceiling Fans Light Kits

Abstract: DOE is revising its test procedures for ceiling fan light kits (CFLKs) established under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. DOE is required to

consider amendment to its test procedures on all covered products, including ceiling fan light kits, at least once every seven years. Existing standards require

lamp efficacy as the efficiency metric for some types of CFLKs and specify a maximum wattage for other types of CFLKs. This test procedure harmonizes these

requirements and updates the test procedure references. In addition, the test procedure will addresses standby and off-mode power consumption.

Title: Test Procedures for Residential and Certain Commercial Water Heaters

Abstract: The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007) amended the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) to require that at least once

every 7 years, DOE must review test procedures for all covered products and either amend test procedures or publish notice in the Federal Register of any

determination not to amend a test procedures. Therefore, DOE must review the test procedures for residential heating products by December 19, 2014 (7 years

after the enactment of EISA 2007). DOE must also review the test procedures for commercial water heaters by May 16, 2019 (7 years after they were last

promulgated, 77 FR 28928 (May 16, 2012). This rulemaking was broadened in response to the amendments to EPCA contained in the American Energy

Manufacturing Technical Corrections Act (AEMTCA). AEMTCA requires DOE to publish a final rule establishing a uniform efficiency descriptor and accompanying

test methods for covered residential water heaters and commercial water heating equipment within one year of the enactment of AMETCA (i.e., by December 18,

2013). The final rule resulting from this rulemaking will satisfy the requirement to review the test procedures for residential and certain commercial water heaters

within seven years of the enactment of the EISA 2007 amendments to EPCA, as well as the requirement to establish the uniform description and test method

under the AEMTCA.

Title: Test Procedures for Residential Direct Heating Equipment and Pool Heaters

Abstract: EISA 2007 amended the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) to require that at least once every seven years DOE must review test procedures

for all covered products, and either amend test procedures (if the Secretary determines that amended test procedures would more accurately, or fully comply with

the requirements of 42 U.S.C. 6293(b)(3) or publish notice in the Federal Register of any determination not to amend a test procedure. (42 U.S.C. 6293(b)(1)(A)).

Under this requirement, DOE must review the test procedures for residential direct heating equipment and pool heaters not later than December 19, 2014 (i.e.,

seven years after the enactment of EISA 2007). The final rule resulting from this rulemaking will satisfy the requirement to review the test procedures for the

subject heating products within seven years of the enactment of EISA 2007.

Title: Coverage Determination for Computers and Battery Backup Systems

Abstract: DOE may classify a type of consumer product as a covered product if it meets criteria outlined in 42 USC 6292(b). DOE can consider prescribing

energy conservation standards for a product it classifies as a covered products if it is determined, among other things, that a new standard is technologically

feasible and economically justified. This is a proposed coverage determination that computers and battery backup systems meet the criteria to be considered a

covered product.

work, as required under 42 U.S.C. 6295(f)(4)(D). DOE commonly refers to these products as "furnace fans." EPCA directs DOE to establish test procedures in

conjunction with new energy conservation standards for furnace fans (42 U.S.C. 6295(r)). To fulfill this requirement, DOE is simultaneously initiating a test

procedure rulemaking for furnace fans in addition to the conservation standards rulemaking, which must be completed by December 31, 2013. DOE's test

procedure is intended to provide an efficiency descriptor and the methods necessary to adequately measure the performance of such fans.

Title: Rulemaking Determination Regarding an Exclusion for 120 Volt, 100 Watt R20 Short Incandescent Reflector Lamp for Spa Applications

Abstract: DOE is granting the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA)'s petition to undertake a rulemaking to determine whether to exclude from

energy conservation standards under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA, 42 U.S.C. 6291, et seq.), a certain type of incandescent reflector lamp (IRL).

Specifically, NEMA seeks an exclusion for 120 volt (V), 100 watt (W), R20 short (having a maximum overall length (MOL) of 3 5/8 (or 3.625) inches) lamps ("R20

Title: Test Procedures for Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners and Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps

Abstract: DOE is required by EPCA to conduct an evaluation of test procedures every seven years to determine if amended procedures would more accurately or

fully comply with the requirements of sections 342(a)(2) and (3), and to either prescribe amended test procedures or publish a notice in the Federal Register

regarding a determination not to amend test procedures. (42 U.S.C 6314(a)(1)) DOE intends to conduct such an evaluation of the test procedures for PTACs and

PTHPs in parallel with the energy conservation standard rulemaking which is now starting to be developed. If DOE determines that test procedure amendments

are warranted, it will conduct a test procedure rulemaking to develop, propose, and prescribe appropriate amendments.

Title: Safeguarding of Restricted Data

Abstract: The Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, spells out the requirements to grant access and to develop the protection requirements for Restricted

Data (RD) and Formerly Restricted Data (FRD) to the Department of Energy. The current policy only contains requirements for licensees. The purpose of this

revision is to provide language relating to Other Government Agencies (OGA) and their access to and safeguarding requirements for RD and FRD. This will better

fulfill the intent of the policy and provide greater assurances that licensees and OGAs have clear and concise guidance as it pertains to RD. Because of the

sensitivity of this type of information, failure to protect this information from unauthorized individuals could be much more costly and detrimental to National

Security than implementation.

Title: Arrest Authority for Protective Force Officers

Abstract: NNSA Protective Force Officers (PFO) are granted arrest authority in section 161 (k) of the Atomic Energy Act (AEA), codified at 42 U.S.C. section

2201(k). The DOE regulations that implement this CFR section of the AEA are contained in 10 CFR 1047. Included in these regulations, at 10 CFR 1047.4, is a

listing of a small subset of federal crimes for which PFOs have arrest authority. The language of section 161(k) grants the Secretary the ability to modify the list of

arrestable offenses included in 10 CFR 1047.4. This list of offenses has not been amended since July of 1985. Since that time, the climate in which NNSA

operates has significantly changed due to the events of September 11, 2001. It is critical that NNSA amend its regulations to adapt its operations to capture

advantages learned from overseas, at other DOE/NNSA facilities, and through internal testing so that it can complete its mission of transporting nuclear weapons,

nuclear weapons components and special nuclear material safely and securely. There are no additional costs to DOE/NNSA, businesses or other governmental

entities anticipated with making these revisions to 10 CFR 1047.4.

Title: Assistance to Foreign Atomic Energy Activities

Abstract: DOE is amending its regulations at 10 CFR part 810 concerning unclassified assistance to foreign atomic energy activities. The amendments are being made to

reflect a need to make the regulations consistent with current global civil nuclear trade practices and nonproliferation norms, and to update the activities and technologies

subject to the Secretary's specific authorization and DOE reporting requirements. These regulations provide that persons subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, who

engage directly or indirectly in the production of special nuclear material outside the United States, would be generally authorized and destinations that would require a

specific authorization by the Secretary of Energy.
