. **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
