### DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY (DOE)
Statement of Regulatory and Deregulatory Priorities
The Department of Energy (Department or DOE ) mak e s vital contributions to the Nation’s welfare through its activities focused on impr oving national security, energy supply, energy efficiency, environmental remediation, and energ y research. The Department’s mission is to:

• Promote dependable, affordable, and environm entally soun d pro duction and distribution of energy;

• Advance energy efficiency and conservation;

• Provide responsible stewardship of the Nation’s nuclear weapons;

• Provide a responsible resolution to the environm ental lega cy of nucl ear weapons production;

• Strengthen U.S. scientific discovery, economic competitiveness, and im proving quality of life throug h innov ations in science and technology.
The Department’s regulatory activities are essenti al to achievin g its critical mission and to implementing major initiatives of the President’s National Energy Policy. Among other things, The Regulatory Plan and the Unified Agenda contai n the rulemakings the Department will be engaged in during the coming year to fulfill the Department’s commitment to meeting deadlines for issuance of energy conservation standards a nd related test procedures. The Regulatory Plan and Unified Agenda also reflect the Department’s continuing commitment to cut costs, reduce regulatory burden, and increase responsiveness to the public.
Energy Efficiency Program for Consumer Products and Commercial Equipment
The Energ y Policy and Cons ervation Act (EPCA) requires DOE to set appliance efficiency standards at levels that achieve the maximum improvement in energy efficiency that is technologically feasible and economically justified. The standards already published in 2010 have a net benefit to the Nation of between $7.7 billion (7 percent discount rate) and 23.5 billion (3 percent discount rate) over 30 years. By 2045, these standards will have saved enough energy to operate all U.S. homes for 4 months.
The Department continues to follow its schedule for setting new appliance efficiency standards. These rulemakings ar e expected to save American consumers billions of dollars in energy co sts. The 5-year plan to implement the schedule outlines how DOE will address the appliance standards rulemaking backlog and meet the statutory requirements established in EPCA and the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT 2005). The 5-year plan, which was developed considering the public comments received on the ap pliance standards program, provides for the issuance of one rulemaking for each of the 22 pr oducts in the backlog. The plan also provides for setting appliance standards for pr oducts required under EPACT 2005.
The overall plan for implementing the schedul e is contained in the Re p o rt to Congress under section 141 of EPACT 2005 that wa s released on January 31, 2006. This plan was last updated in the August 2010 report to Congress and no w includes the require ments of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007). The reports to Congress are posted at: http://www.eere.energy.gov/appliance_standards/schedule_setting.html.
The August 2010 report identifies all products for which DOE has missed the deadlines establi sh ed in EPCA (42 U.S.C. sec. 6291 et seq .). It also describes the reasons for such delays and the Department’s plan for expeditiously prescr ibing new or amended standards. Information and timetables concerning these actions can also be found in the Department’s regulatory agenda, which is posted online at: www.reginfo.gov.

Estimate of Combined Aggregate Costs and Benefits

### The regulatory actions included in this regula to ry plan for resid e ntial refrigerators and freezers, fluorescent lamp ballasts, residential cent ral air conditioners and heat pumps, residential furnaces, manufactured housing, and clothes dryers and room air conditioners provide significant benefits to the Nation. DOE believes that the benefits to the Nation of the proposed energy standards for residential refrigerators and freezer s (energy savings, consumer average life-cycle cost savings, national net present value increa se, and emissions reductions) outweigh the costs (loss of industry net present value and life-cycle cost increases for some consumers). DOE estimates that these refrigerator and freezer regulations will produce an energy savings of 4.5 quads over 30 years. The benefit to the Nation will be between $2.44 billion (7 percent discount rate) and $18.57 billion (3 perc ent discount rate). DOE be lieves that the proposed energy standards for fluorescent lamp ballasts, cent ral air conditioners and heat pumps, residential furnaces, manufactured housing, and clothes dryers and room air conditioners will also be beneficial to the Nation. Because DOE has not ye t proposed candidate standard levels for this equipment, however, DOE cannot provide an estima te of combined aggregate costs and benefits for these actions. DOE will, however, in complianc e with all applicable law, issue standards that will provide the maximum energy savings that are technologically feasible and economically justified. Estimates of energy savings will be provided when DOE issues the notices of proposed rulemaking for this equipment.The 6 Actions Described in the Regulatory Plan

Regulatory Plan: Statement of Need: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act requires minimum energy efficiency standards for appliances, which has the effect of eliminating inefficient appliances from the market.

Legal Basis: Title III of EPCA sets forth a variety of provisions designed to improve energy efficiency. Part A of title III (42 U.S.C. 6291 to 6309) provides for the Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products other than Automobiles. EPCA covers consumer products and certain commercial equipment, including clothes dryers and room are conditioners that are the subject of the rulemaking (42 U.S.C. 6292(a)(2)-(8)). EPCA prescribes energy conservation standards for room air conditioners (42 U.S.C. 6295(c)) and directs DOE to conduct two cycles of rulemaking to determine whether to adopt amended standards (42 U.S.C. 6295(c)(3)(A)). For clothes dryers, EPCA sets a prescriptive requirement (42 U.S.C. 6294(g)(3)) and directs DOE to conduct a cycle of rulemaking to determine whether to adopt amended standards (42 U.S.C. 6294(g)(4)). This rulemaking represents the second and first round of amendments to the standards for room air conditioners and dryers respectively.

Alternatives: The statute requires DOE to conduct rulemakings to review standards and to revise standards to achieve the maximum improvement in energy efficiency that the Secretary determines is a technologically feasible and economically justified. In making this determination, DOE conducts a thorough analysis of the alternative standard levels, including the existing standard, based on the criteria specified by the statute.

Costs and Benefits: Because DOE has not yet proposed candidate standard levels for these products, DOE cannot provide an estimate of combine aggregate costs and benefits for these actions. DOE will, however, in compliance with all applicable law, issue standards that provide the maximum energy savings that are technologically feasibly and economically justified. Estimates of energy savings will be provided when DOE issues the notices of proposed rulemaking for this equipment.
