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

Abstract: On December 21, 1983, 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). As provided in the rule, DOE has reviewed the current SSPs and made minor revisions to update some provisions regarding procedures, delivery points and dates, payment methods, and increasing the ceiling amount for disputes.

Title: Coordination of Federal Authorizations for Siting of Electric Transmission Facilities

Abstract: Subsection 216(h) of the Federal Power Act (FPA) requires DOE to act as lead agency for purposes of coordinating all applicable Federal authorizations and related environmental reviews as may be required under Federal law in order to site transmission facilities. Subsection 216(h)(7)(A) further authorizes DOE to issue any regulations necessary to implement the provisions of section 1221(a) of Energy Policy Act of 2005 and FPA 216, including provisions providing for pre-application mechanisms to facilitate streamlining applicable Federal authorizations. Pursuant to this authority, DOE intends to promulgate regulations to facilitate the coordination of such permits, special use authorizations, certifications, opinions, or other approvals necessary to site transmission facilities. DOE notes that it has delegated to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission certain of the DOE's authorities under FPA section 216(h) and that the Commission has promulgated regulations concerning how it will carry out that authority. 71 FR 69440.Priority: Other Significant Agenda Stage of Rulemaking: Final Rule

Title: Administrative Procedures for the Import and Export of Natural Gas

Abstract: On December 29, 1989, DOE published in the Federal Register a final rule regarding the administrative procedures governing the import and export of natural gas. The purpose of this final rule was to establish the rules and procedures required to be followed by persons to obtain authorizations from DOE to import or export natural gas under the Natural Gas Act, and by all other persons interested in participating in a natural gas import or export proceeding before the agency. Since the publishing of this final rule, the domestic and international natural gas markets have evolved in structure and complexity. The current business models and types of commercial transactions utilized by stakeholders in the natural gas industry require greater flexibility on the part of DOE when evaluating import and export applications for issuance of an authorization than is provided for by the current regulations, which were developed 21 years ago and have not been revised since their issuance. Additionally, amendments to the Natural Gas Act, which were passed subsequent to the December, 1989 publishing of the current regulations, have had a significant effect on the processes and procedures for the issuance of authorizations, and have not yet been incorporated into the current regulations. This rulemaking project will consolidate existing DOE policies and procedures on the import and export of natural gas by incorporating them into the regulations; it will allow DOE to address increasingly complex natural gas market issues through increased regulatory flexibility; and it will streamline the regulations by eliminating those regulations which are no longer applicable.

Title: Energy Conservation Standards for Wine Chillers and Miscellaneous Refrigeration Products

Abstract: DOE is considering conducting a rulemaking to establish definitions and set standards for residential wine chillers and similar products. Because of the operational differences between refrigerators that are already covered by the statutory framework laid out by the Energy Policy and Conservation act of 1975, as amended, and other refrigeration product types, such as wine chillers, DOE is weighing the possibility of setting standards for these other refrigeration product types.

Title: Energy Savings Performance Contract Procedures and Methods

Abstract: This rulemaking would amend the regulations governing Federal energy management and planning programs to reduce Federal energy consumption and promoting life cycle cost effective investments in building energy systems, building water systems and energy and water conservation measures for Federal buildings. The rulemaking would amend the existing regulations governing energy savings performance contracts entered into by Federal agencies for implementation of privately financed investment in building and facility energy conservation measures for existing Federally owned buildings. The revised regulations would reflect amendments to the relevant statutes as well as changes in the program based on current best practices.

Title: Test Procedures for Residential Water Heaters

Abstract: EISA 2007 amended EPCA to require that at least once every 7 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 heating products not later than December 19, 2014 (i.e., 7 years after the enactment of EISA 2007). Test procedures for residential direct heating equipment and pool heaters were originally part of this rulemaking and were split off in a separate rulemaking (RIN 1904-AC94). The final rule resulting from this rulemaking will satisfy the requirement to review the test procedures for residential water heaters within seven years of the enactment of the EISA 2007 amendments to EPCA.

Title: Amendments and Corrections to Petitions for Waiver and Interim Waiver for Consumer Products and Commercial and Industrial Equipment

Abstract: DOE proposes minor amendments and corrections to portions of its regulations governing petitions for waiver and interim waiver from DOE test procedures. In finalizing the March 7, 2011 final certification, compliance and enforcement rule for consumer products and commercial equipment, DOE inadvertently deleted language pertaining to petitions for waiver and interim waiver of DOE's test procedure requirements for consumer products. This notice addresses that error by proposing to restore the omitted text. Additionally, the notice proposes to make minor modifications to the waiver provisions for both consumer products and commercial equipment and to clarify certain aspects related to the submission and processing of a waiver petition.

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 rulemaking to amend standards by December 31, 2013.

Title: Energy Efficiency Standards for Battery Chargers and External Power Supplies

Abstract: In addition to the existing general definition of "external power supply," the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) defines a "class A external power supply" and sets efficiency standards for those products. EISA directs DOE to publish a final rule to determine whether the standards set for class A external power supplies should be amended. EISA also requires DOE to issue a final rule prescribing energy conservation standards for battery chargers, if technologically feasible and economically justified or to determine that no energy conservation standard is technically feasible and economically justified.

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's (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 short lamps") marketed for use in hot tub spas. Such a review for exclusion is authorized under 42 U.S.C. 6291(30)(E), which allows the Secretary, by rule, to exclude a fluorescent or incandescent lamp if standards for such lamp would not result in significant energy savings because such lamp is designed for special applications or because the lamp has special characteristics not available in reasonably substitutable lamp types.

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 Procedures for Residential Furnaces and Boilers

Abstract: DOE proposes to revise its test procedure for residential furnaces and boilers established under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act. This rulemaking would adopt needed equations, applicable to certain classes of these products, that was omitted from the relevant industry standard incorporated by reference in the DOE test procedure. Specifically, the current DOE test procedure for residential furnaces and boilers incorporates by reference the American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air-conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Standard 103-1993, Method of Testing for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency of Residential Central Furnaces and Boilers, (ASHRAE 103-1993). Section 9.10 of ASHRAE 103-1993, and by extension the DOE test procedure, permits condensing furnaces and boilers the option of omitting the specified heat-up and cool-down tests, if the model: (1) has no measurable airflow through the combustion chamber and heat exchanger during the burner off period; and (2) has post-purge period(s) of less than 5 seconds. However, the current test method lacks an equation necessary for the calculation of the heating seasonal efficiency (which contributes to the ultimate calculation of annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE)) of two-stage and modulating condensing furnaces or boilers when the option in section 9.10 is employed.

Title: Energy Conservation Standards for ER, BR, and Small Diameter Incandescent Reflector Lamps

Abstract: Amendments to Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975(EPCA) in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007) amended the energy conservation standards to extend coverage to certain classes of incandescent reflector lamps (IRL) that had previously been outside the statutory definition of "incandescent reflector lamp," although certain of these lamps were excluded from the statutory standard levels at that same time. However, EISA 2007 authorized DOE to amend these standards if such amendments were warranted. Therefore, DOE is undertaking this rulemaking to consider establishing efficiency standards for previously exempt small diameter, ER, and BR lamps, which are commonly used in track lighting and

recessed cans.

The program was required to include specifications for test procedures and labels that will enable purchasers of such luminaires to make more informed decisions about the energy efficiency and costs of alternative products. If DOE determined that these test procedures and labels did not exist, EPAct 1992 directed DOE to develop them for luminaires. (42 U.S.C. 6292 note) Therefore, DOE will develop, as appropriate, test procedures for lighting systems (luminaires).

Title: Energy Efficiency Standards for Distribution Transformers

Abstract: The current distribution transformer efficiency standards for medium-voltage-transformers apply to transformers manufactured or imported on or after January 1, 2010, and to low-voltage, dry type transformers manufactured or imported on orafter January 1, 2007. As a result of a settlement agreement, DOE agreed to conduct a review of the standards for liquidimmersed and medium-voltage dry-type distribution transformers to determine if, pursuant to EPCA, the standards for these products need to be amended. As a result of the review, DOE published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking which included new proposed standards for these products as well as low-voltage, dry-type transformers. Under the settlement agreement, DOE is obligated to publish in the Federal Register, no later than October 1, 2012, a final rule including any amendments to the standards for liquid-immersed and medium-voltage dry-type distribution transformers.

Title: Energy Efficiency Standards for Microwave Ovens (Standby and Off Mode)

Abstract: DOE published a NPRM for microwave ovens on October 17, 2008 (73 FR 62034), and a final rule on April 8, 2009 (74 FR 16040). In the NPRM, DOE proposed establishing energy conservation standards for standby mode and off mode. The April 2009 final rule did not contain standards for microwave ovens in these modes because a revised test procedure for microwave ovens was not finalized. DOE is continuing the microwave oven test procedure rulemaking and is revisiting the energy conservation standard rulemaking to consider whether standards for microwaves ovens in standby-mode and off-mode are technologically feasible and economically justified.

Title: Test Procedure for Residential Furnaces and Boilers (Standby Mode and Off Mode)

Abstract: Per the EISA 2007 amendment to EPCA, DOE test procedures for residential furnaces and boilers are to be amended to include methods for measuring standby and off mode energy, taking into consideration the most recent applicable versions of standards from the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). DOE completed the required action in 2010 by publishing a final rule which incorporated by reference IEC Standard 62301(First Edition) (75 FR 64621, October 20, 2010). This rulemaking will further amend the test procedure to incorporate by reference the new IEC standard 62301 (Second Edition), which has the potential to improve measurements and reduce testing burden.

Title: Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers Petition for Reconsideration--Residential Dishwashers, Dehumidifiers, and Conventional Cooking Products

Abstract: DOE received a petition from the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) requesting reconsideration of the DOE's final rule to amend the test procedures for residential dishwashers, dehumidifiers, and conventional cooking products, published on October 31, 2012, and DOE's direct final rule to amend energy conservation standards for dishwashers, published on May 30, 2012. Specifically, AHAM requested that DOE stay the effectiveness of the test procedure final rule and final standards rule until DOE either: 1) revises the standards in the final standards rule to account for the impact on measured energy resulting from test procedure amendments to measure fan-only mode and standby and off mode energy use; or 2) delays requirements regarding measurement of fan-only mode and standby and off mode energy use until promulgation of a

revised standard for dishwashers.

Title: Protective Force Personnel Medical, Training, and Access Authorization Standards

Abstract: These amendments ensure that DOE Protective Force (PF) medical and fitness requirements are consistent with the Privacy Act (5 USC 52(a)) and 10 CFR part 1008, and with policy changes made since the publication of the last version of this rule. The amendments also ensure that PF personnel are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and only on their ability to perform the essential functions of their positions without posing a direct threat to themselves or others, the facility, or the general public.

The amendments further ensure that reasonable accommodations are considered before there is a determination that an individual cannot perform the essential functions of a particular position. The amendments provide new medical review processes that are available to provide for due process should PF personnel be disqualified from medical certification. Additionally, the title "Physical Protection of Security Interests" was revised to "Protective Force Personnel Medical, Physical Fitness, Training, and Access Authorization Standards" to more accurately reflect the contents.

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 section 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.
