Title: Coordination of Federal Authorizations for Siting of Electric Transmission Facilities

Abstract: Subsection 216(h) of the Federal Power Act (FPA) requires DOE to act as lead agency for purposes of coordinating all applicable Federal authorizations and related environmental reviews as may be required under Federal law in order to site transmission facilities. Subsection 216(h)(7)(A) further authorizes DOE to issue any regulations necessary to implement the provisions of section 1221(a) of Energy Policy Act of 2005 and FPA 216, including provisions providing for pre-application mechanisms to facilitate streamlining applicable Federal authorizations. Pursuant to this authority, DOE intends to promulgate regulations to facilitate the coordination of such permits, special use authorizations, certifications, opinions, or other approvals necessary to site transmission facilities. DOE notes that it has delegated to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission certain of the DOE's authorities under FPA section 216(h) and that the Commission has promulgated regulations concerning how it will carry out that authority. 71 FR 69440.

Title: Price Competitive Sale of Strategic Petroleum Reserve Petroleum; Standard

Abstract: On December 21, 1983, DOE published in the Federal Register a final rule which governs the price competitive sales of petroleum from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) in the event that the SPR is drawn down to respond to a severe energy supply interruption or to meet obligations of the United States under the Agreement on an International Energy Program. The final rule provides for the publication and periodic update, as an appendix to the rule, of Standard Sales Provisions (SSPs) containing or describing contract clauses, terms and conditions of sale, and performance and financial responsibility measures,which may be used for particular sales of SPR petroleum. First published in interim final form on January 20, 1984, the SSPs have since been updated several times, with the latest version published in the Federal Register on July 7, 2005 (70 FR 39364). As provided in the rule, DOE has reviewed the current SSPs and made minor revisions to update some provisions regarding, procedures, delivery points and dates, payment methods, and increasing the ceiling amount for disputes.

Title: Monthly Data Collection Requirements for Electricity Exports and Presidential Permits

Abstract: This rule would amend the electricity export and import data collection requirements in DOE's administrative regulations that pertain to the issuance of Presidential permits authorizing electric transmission facilities at the U.S. international border and orders authorizing electricity exports to a foreign country. The responsibility for the data collection has been transferred from DOE's Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE) to DOE's Energy Information Administration (EIA). The frequency of the reporting in the regulations is being changed from annual to monthly in order to be consistent with the data collection procedures now required by EIA's Form OE-781R, "Monthly Electricity Imports and Exports Report."

Title: Administrative Procedures for the Import And Export of Natural Gas

Abstract: On December 29, 1989, DOE published in the Federal Register a final rule regarding the administrative procedures governing the import and export of natural gas. The purpose of this final rule was to establish the rules and procedures required to be followed by persons to obtain authorizations from DOE to import or export natural gas under the Natural Gas Act, and by all other persons interested in participating in a natural gas import or export proceeding before the agency. Since the publishing of this final rule, the domestic and international natural gas markets have evolved in structure and complexity. The current business models and types of commercial transactions utilized by stakeholders in the natural gas industry require greater flexibility on the part of DOE when evaluating import and export applications for issuance of an authorization than is provided for by the current regulations, which were developed 21 years ago and have not been revised since their issuance. Additionally, amendments to the Natural Gas Act, which were passed subsequent to the December, 1989 publishing of the current regulations, have had a significant effect on the processes and procedures for the issuance of authorizations, and have not yet been incorporated into the current regulations. This rulemaking project will consolidate existing DOE policies and procedures on the import and export of natural gas by incorporating them into the regulations; it will allow DOE to address increasingly complex natural gas market issues through increased regulatory flexibility; and it will streamline the regulations by eliminating those regulations which are no longer applicable.

Title: Radiation Protection of the Public and the Environment

Abstract: This action adds a new 10 CFR 834 to DOE's regulations establishing a body of rules setting forth the basic requirements for ensuring radiation protection of the public and environment in connection with DOE nuclear activities. These requirements stem from the Department's ongoing effort to strengthen the protection of health, safety, and the environment from the nuclear and chemical hazards posed by these DOE activities. Major elements of this action include a dose limitation system for protection of the public; requirements for application optimization (As Low As is Reasonably Achievable, ALARA) process; requirements for liquid discharges; reporting and monitoring requirements; and residual radioactive material requirements.

Additional Information: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is considering revising the Federal Guidance for Radiation Protection of the Public. This Presidential-level guidance would refine the radiation protection and dose limitation framework for the public, and may include numerical Radiation Protection Goals (i.e., dose limits). Because it is DOE's preference to be consistent with Federal radiation protection policy, the Department is adjusting the schedule for part 834 in anticipation of revised Federal Guidance and will issue the rule following EPA action on the guidance. This will allow DOE to be consistent with the most current Presidential-level guidance upon its release. EPA's schedule for issuing the Federal Guidelines is currently tentative; therefore, DOE cannot project a date for the next action on this rulemaking.

Abstract: DOE published a NPRM for microwave ovens on October 17, 2008 (73 FR 62034), and a final rule on April 8, 2009 (74 FR 16040). In the NPRM, DOE proposed establishing energy conservation standards for standby mode and off mode. The April 2009 final rule did not contain standards for microwave ovens in these modes because a revised test procedure for microwave ovens was not finalized. DOE is continuing the microwave oven test procedure rulemaking and is revisiting the energy conservation standard rulemaking to consider whether standards for microwaves ovens in standby-mode and off-mode are technologically feasible and economically justified.

Title: Energy Efficiency Standards for Incandescent Reflector Lamps

Abstract: Amendments to Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA) amended the energy conservation standards to extend coverage to certain classes of IRL that had previously been outside the statutory definition of "incandescent reflector lamp" although these lamps were excluded from the statutory standard levels. However, EISA 2007 authorized DOE to amend these standards if such amendments were warranted. Specifically, as amended, EPCA exempted certain small diameter, ellipsoidal reflector (ER) and bulged reflector (BR) lamps from standards. In June 2009, DOE published a final rule amending existing standards for IRL. In earlier stages of the June 2009 rulemaking, DOE had interpreted its authority with regard to IRL as limited to amending congressionally established standard levels only, and not to the exemptions set by Congress for certain explicitly identified small diameter, ER and BR lamps, commonly used in track lighting and recessed cans. On further review, DOE has concluded that DOE has authority to establish efficiency standards for these currently exempt small diameter ER and BR lamps. However, as a practical matter, DOE could not consider these lamps as part of the previous rulemaking because it had not conducted the requisite analyses to set appropriate standard levels. Pursuant to EPCA, DOE is now conducting a rulemaking as to energy conservation standards for certain incandescent reflector lamps (IRL) that have ER or BR bulb shapes, and for certain IRL with diameters less than 2.25 inches.

Title: Test Procedures for Residential Furnace Fans

Abstract: DOE is initiating its first rulemaking to consider new energy conservation standards or energy use standards for purposes of circulating air through duct work, as required under 42 U.S.C. 6295(f)(4)(D). DOE commonly refers to these products as furnace fans. EPCA directs DOE to establish test procedures in conjunction with energy conservation standards for furnace fans(42 U.S.C. 6295(r)). To fulfill this requirement, DOE is simultaneously initiating a test procedure rulemaking for furnace fans in addition to the conservation standards rulemaking, which must be completed by December 31, 2013. DOE's test procedure is intended to provide an efficiency descriptor and the methods necessary to adequately measure the performance of the furnace fan for the purposes of developing energy conservation standards.

Title: Energy Efficiency Standards for Certain Commercial and Industrial Electric Motors

Abstract: The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007) updated the energy efficiency standards for electric motors covered in Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) and established energy efficiency standards for a larger scope of motors previously not covered. EPCA requires that a final rule determining whether to amend standards be published no later than 24 months after the effective date of the previous final rule. As EISA 2007 constitutes the previous amendment to energy conservation standards for electric motors and its effective date is December 19, 2010, DOE must publish this amendment to energy conservation standards for electric motors by December 19, 2012.

Abstract: Section 302 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 amends the Energy Policy and Conservation Act to require that test procedures for all covered products (including electric motors) be reviewed at least once every seven years. The test procedure amendments for electric motors were originally bundled with the test procedure for small electric motors in a NPRM published on December 22, 2008 (73 FR 78220). To ensure that a consent decree deadline was met, DOE decided to publish a final test procedure for small electric motors on July 7, 2009 (74 FR 32059). As part of that notice, DOE indicated that it had left open certain technical issues raised in response to the NPRM to be addressed in a supplemental NPRM to be issued later. DOE issued this supplemental NPRM, covering test procedures for both small electric motors and electric motors, on January 5, 2011 (76 FR 648).

Title: Energy Efficiency Standards for Residential Furnace, Central Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps

Abstract: DOE published an energy conservation standard final rule for residential furnaces and boilers in the Federal Register on November 19, 2007 (72 FR 65136). Petitioners challenged this final rule on several grounds. DOE filed a motion for voluntary remand to allow the agency to consider: 1) The application of regional standards in additional to national standards for furnaces, authorized by Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (enacted Dec. 19, 2007) and 2) the effect of alternative standards on natural gas prices. This motion for voluntary remand was granted on April 21, 2009. DOE initiated this rulemaking to consider amended energy conservation standards for residential furnaces. In this rulemaking DOE is also reviewing and updating energy efficiency standards, as required by the Energy Policy and Conservation Act, to reflect technological advances. All amended standards must be technologically feasible and economically justified. This is the second review of the statutory standards for residential central air conditioners and air conditioning heat pumps.

Title: Protective Force Personnel Medical, Training, and Access Authorization Standards

Abstract: These amendments ensure that DOE Protective Force (PF) medical and fitness requirements are consistent with the Privacy Act (5 USC 52(a)) and 10 CFR part 1008, and with policy changes made since the publication of the last version of this rule. The amendments also ensure that PF personnel are evaluated on a case-by-case basis and only on their ability to perform the essential functions of their positions without posing a direct threat to themselves or others, the facility, or the general public.

The amendments further ensure that reasonable accommodations are considered before there is a determination that an individual cannot perform the essential functions of a particular position. Finally, the amendments provide new medical review processes that are available to provide for due process should PF personnel be disqualified from medical certification. Additionally, the title "Physical Protection of Security Interests" has been revised as "Protective Force Personnel Medical, Physical Fitness, Training, and Access Authorization Standards" to more accurately reflect the contents.
