Semiannual Regulatory Agenda 

AGENCY: Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Notice of semiannual regulatory 

agenda. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy 

(DOE) has prepared and is making 

available its portion of the semiannual 

Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory 

and Deregulatory Actions (Agenda), 

including its Regulatory Plan (Plan), 

pursuant to Executive Order 12866, 

‘‘Regulatory Planning and Review,’’ and 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Agenda is a government-wide 

compilation of upcoming and ongoing 

regulatory activity, including a brief 

description of each rulemaking and a 

timetable for action. The Agenda also 

includes a list of regulatory actions 

completed since publication of the last 

Agenda. The Department of Energy’s 

portion of the Agenda includes 

regulatory actions called for by the 

Energy Policy Act of 2005, the Energy 

Independence and Security Act of 2007, 

and programmatic needs of DOE offices. 

The Internet is the basic means for 

disseminating the Agenda and 

providing users the ability to obtain 

information from the Agenda database. 

DOE’s entire fall 2013 Agenda can be 

accessed online by going to: 

www.reginfo.gov. Agenda entries reflect 

the status of activities as of 

approximately October 31, 2013. 

Publication in the Federal Register is 

mandated by the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act (5 U.S.C. 602) only for Agenda 

entries that require either a regulatory 

flexibility analysis or periodic review 

under section 610 of that Act. DOE’s 

regulatory flexibility agenda is made up 

of five rulemakings setting either energy 

efficiency standards or test procedures 

for the following products: 

Energy Conservation Standard for 

Battery Chargers and External Power 

Supplies 

Energy Conservation Standard for 

Commercial Packaged Boilers 

Energy Conservation Standard for 

Commercial Refrigeration Equipment 

Test Procedure for Residential 

Refrigerators, Refrigerator-freezers, 

and Freezers 

Energy Conservation Standard for Walkin Coolers and Freezers 

The Plan appears in both the online 

Agenda and the Federal Register and 

includes the most important of DOE’s 

significant regulatory actions and a 

Statement of Regulatory and 

Deregulatory Priorities.

Acting General Counsel.
