U.S. DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

PUBLIC MEETING ON

ENERGY CONSERVATION STANDARDS FOR

BATTERY CHARGER S AND EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLIES

Room 1E-245 1000 Independence Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20585 July 16, 2009



## Purpose

During this meeting DOE will present the energy conservation standards rulemaking for battery chargers and exte rnal power supplies with a discussion on the framework document. This meeting is intended to familiarize interested stakeholders with the approach and an alytical methods that DOE proposes to use in its analysis for proposed standa rds and to solicit feedback on the approach and tools.



## Draft Agenda
