Dear Battery Charger and External Power Supply Stakeholders -

The U.S. Department of Energy wishes to inform you that it will be holding a Scoping Workshop for Battery Chargers and

External Power Supplies on January 24, 2007 in Washington DC. As required by the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the

Scoping Workshop is being held within 18 months of the enactment of the Act. DOE published a notice in today's Federal

Register which announces the date of the event and provides information on the meeting and how to submit comments (a

PDF of the Notice is attached to this email message).

In addition to the Federal Register Notice, DOE is publishing two documents on its website which will be discussed at the

Scoping Workshop, titled "The Current and Projected Future Market for Battery Chargers and External Power Supplies"

and "Plans for Developing Energy Conservation Standards for Battery Chargers and External Power Supplies." These

two documents were developed by DOE in response to requirements in the Energy Policy Act of 2005. Stakeholders are

invited to comment on all aspects of both documents, and DOE has identified certain key issues for public comment in

the text (and appendices) of both documents.

To download these documents, please visit DOE's homepage for Battery Chargers and External Power Supplies:

http://www.eere.energy.gov/buildings/appliance-standards/residential/battery_external. html

On that webpage, the two documents are listed under the heading for the "Determination Analysis":

* Plans for Developing Energy Conservation Standards for Battery Chargers and External Power Supplies (PDF 565 KB)

* The Current and Projected Future Market for Battery Chargers and External Power Supplies (PDF 1.6 MB)

DOE thanks you for your continued support and participation in its work on Battery Chargers and External Power

Supplies. We hope you will be able to join us for the Scoping Workshop on January 24th, 2007.
