During the meeting, a stakeholder requested a copy of the Screening Analysis criteria, and the

Department agreed to provide it to everyone. The screening criteria are described on page 24 of the

Framework Document and are excerpted here:

4. SCREENING ANALYSIS

The purpose of the screening analysis is to screen out technology design options that will not be

considered in the rulemaking for general service fluorescent lamps, incandescent reflector lamps and

additional general service incandescent lamps. DOE will screen out technology design options according

to four criteria, as noted below.

Through its own research and in consultation with interested parties, the Department will develop

a list of design options for consideration. Initially, the candidate design options or best available

technologies will encompass all those technologies that may be technologically feasible. Following

development of this initial list of design options, the Department will review each design option or

best available technology based on the following four criteria, as addressed in sections 4(a)(4) and

5(b) of the Process Rule:

1. Technological feasibility. Design options that are not incorporated in commercially available lamps

or in working prototypes will not be considered further.

2. Practicability to manufacture, install, and service. If it is determined that mass production of a

design option or reliable installation and servicing of a design option could not be achieved on the

scale necessary to serve the relevant market by the time of the effective date of the energy

conservation standard, then that design option will not be considered further.

3. Impacts on lamp utility to consumers. If a design option is determined to have significant adverse

impact on the utility of the lamp to significant subgroups of consumers, or result in the

unavailability of any covered lamp type with performance characteristics (including reliability),

features, size, capacities, and volumes that are substantially the same as lamps generally available in

the United States at the time, it will not be considered further.

4. Safety of technologies. If it is determined that a design option will have significant adverse

impacts on health or safety, it will not be considered further.
