# CommentsPertainingtothe SupplementalANOPR

6ClothesWasherWorkshop December 15, 1998 • Supplemental ANOPR + Proposed product classes • Information on national level historical, current, and projections ofwater and sewer rates • Information relating to the determination of price and operating cost elasticities • Comments on the proposed DOE approach for determining shipments • Other Comments 7ClothesWasherWorkshop December 15, 1998 • Supplemental ANOPR (can't) • Commenis on ihe alternative standard scenarios: - A moderate standard at an early effective date. For example, a level at a 25 percent improvement, effective three years afterthe publication ofthe Final Rule. - A stringent standard, at a later effective date. For example, a level at 45 percent improvement effective five years afterthe publication ofthe Final Rule. - A two phase approach. For example, a level at 20 percent effective three years afterthe publication ofthe Final Rule (projected effective date - October, 2002) and a level at 40 percent effective eight years after publication ofthe Final Rule. 8Clothes WasherWorkshop December 15, 1998
