SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Authority 

Title III of EPCA (42 U.S.C. 6291, et 

seq.) sets forth a variety of provisions 

designed to improve energy efficiency. 

Part A of Title III of EPCA (42 U.S.C. 

6291–6309) established the ‘‘Energy 

Conservation Program for Consumer 

Products Other Than Automobiles,’’ 

which covers consumer products and 

certain commercial products (hereafter 

referred to as ‘‘covered products’’).1 In 

addition to specifying a list of covered 

residential and commercial products, 

EPCA contains provisions that enable 

the Secretary of Energy to classify 

additional types of consumer products 

as covered products. (42 U.S.C. 

6292(a)(20)) DOE may prescribe test 

procedures for any product it classifies 

as a ‘‘covered product.’’ (42 U.S.C. 

6293(b)) 

II. Discussion 

On July 12, 2013, DOE published a 

notice of proposed determination 

(Notice) that tentatively determined that 

servers qualify as a covered product. 78 

FR 41868. In light of public comments 

received from interested parties 

addressing the nature and use of servers, 

DOE is withdrawing the Notice. DOE’s 

current approach with regard to the 

coverage of servers can be found in its 

updated coverage proposal for 

computers, published elsewhere in 

today’s Federal Register. 

III. Approval of the Office of the 

Secretary 

The Secretary of Energy has approved 

publication of this withdrawal.
