Energy Conservation Standard

Advance Notice of Proposed

Rulemaking

Following the Framework Document, the Department of Energy

(DOE) is publishing an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking

(ANOPR) for the energy conservation standard rulemaking for

general service fluorescent lamps and incandescent reflector

lamps. The ANOPR is the first stage of the overall standards

rulemaking process and will be followed by a Notice of Proposed

Rulemaking and ultimately a Final Rule. At the ANOPR stage, DOE

presents several analyses, including the engineering analysis, the

life-cycle cost analysis, and the national energy saving analysis.

Stakeholders are invited to review the ANOPR documents and the

analysis tools, attend the public meetings, and submit comments

on the analyses.

At the time of publication of the Framework Document, EPCA

gave DOE authority to consider energy conservation standards

for additional general service incandescent lamps under 42 U.S.C.

6295 ( i)(5). However, subsequent amendments to EPCA in the

Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 removed that

authority. Therefore, in the ANOPR, DOE is considering the

amendment of existing energy conservation standards for general

service fluorescent lamps and incandescent reflector lamps and

whether to apply standards to additional general service

fluorescent lamps. In addition, the ANOPR also announces a

public meeting to receive comments.

The comment period for this stage of the rulemaking analysis is

open until 30 days after publication in the Federal Register, date

TBD. How to Submit Comments

How to Submit Comments

All comments submitted must identify the Fluorescent and

Incandescent Lamps Rulemaking activity to which it corresponds.

The Department of Energy presently has two active rulemakings on

Fluorescent and Incandescent Lamps, an Energy Conservation

Standard Rulemaking and a Test Procedure Rulemaking. Each

rulemaking has its own docket number and regulatory information

number (RIN):

• Energy Conservation Standard Rulemaking

Docket number EE -2006-STD- 0130 and RIN 1904-AA92

• Test Procedure Rulemaking

Docket Number EERE-2007 -BT-TP-0013 and RIN 1904-AB72

Comments may be submitted using any of the following methods:
