10 CFR Chs. II, III, and X 

48 CFR Ch. 9 

Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory 

and Deregulatory Actions 

AGENCY: Department of Energy. 

ACTION: Semi-annual regulatory agenda. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy 

(DOE) has prepared and is making 

available its portion of the semi-annual 

Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory 

and Deregulatory Actions (Agenda) 

pursuant to Executive Order 12866, 

‘‘Regulatory Planning and Review,’’ and 

the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The 

Agenda is a government-wide 

compilation of upcoming and ongoing 

regulatory activity, including a brief 

description of each rulemaking and a 

timetable for action. The Agenda also 

includes a list of regulatory actions 

completed since publication of the last 

Agenda. The Department of Energy’s 

portion of the Agenda includes 

regulatory actions called for by the 

Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 

1975, as amended, and programmatic 

needs of DOE offices. 

The internet is the basic means for 

disseminating the Agenda and 

providing users the ability to obtain 

information from the Agenda database. 

DOE’s Spring 2021 Agenda can be 

accessed online by going to 

www.reginfo.gov. 

DOE’s regulatory flexibility agenda is 

made up of rulemakings setting energy 

efficiency standards and requirements 

applicable to DOE sites.

prescribes energy conservation 

standards for various consumer 

products and certain commercial and 

industrial equipment, including 

residential furnaces. EPCA also requires 

the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to

amended standards would be 

technologically feasible and 

economically justified and would save a 

significant amount of energy. DOE is 

considering amendments to its energy 

conservation standards for weatherized 

gas, oil, and electric furnaces.

by Energy Independence and Security 

Act of 2007 (EISA), requires the 

Secretary to determine whether 

updating the statutory energy 

conservation standards for residential 

conventional cooking products would 

yield a significant savings in energy use 

and is technologically feasible and 

economically justified. The U.S. 

Department of Energy (DOE) is 

reviewing the current standards to make 

such determination.

84. Energy Conservation Standards for 

Commercial Water Heating-Equipment 

Legal Authority: 42 U.S.C. 

6313(a)(6)(C)(i) and (vi) 

Abstract: Once completed, this 

rulemaking will fulfill the U.S. 

Department of Energy’s (DOE) statutory 

obligation under the Energy Policy and 

Conservation Act, as amended, (EPCA) 

to either propose amended energy 

conservation standards for commercial 

water heaters and hot water supply 

boilers, or determine that the existing 

standards do not need to be amended. 

(Unfired hot water storage tanks and 

commercial heat pump water heaters are 

being considered in a separate 

rulemaking.) DOE must determine 

whether national standards more 

stringent than those that are currently in 

place would result in a significant 

additional amount of energy savings and 

whether such amended national 

standards would be technologically 

feasible and economically justified.
