 Department of Energy 10 CFR Chs. II, III, and X
48 CFR Ch. 9
 AGENCY: Department of Energy.
 ACTION: Notice of semiannual regulatory agenda.
 SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) has prepared and is making available its portion of the semiannual Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions (Agenda), including its Regulatory Plan (Plan), 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 Independence and Security Act of 2007, the American Energy Manufacturing Technical Corrections Act 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 entire Fall 2014 Agenda can be accessed online by going to: 
                        *www.reginfo.gov.*
                         Agenda entries reflect the status of activities as of approximately November 30, 2014. Publication in the 
                        **Federal Register**
                         is mandated by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602) only for Agenda entries that require either a regulatory flexibility analysis or periodic review under section 610 of that Act. DOE's regulatory flexibility agenda is made up of three rulemakings setting energy efficiency standards for the following products: Automatic Commercial Ice Makers
                    Commercial Packaged Boilers
                    Residential Furnace Fans The Plan appears in both the online Agenda and the 
                        **Federal Register**
                         and includes the most important of DOE's significant regulatory actions and a Statement of Regulatory and Deregulatory Priorities. Steven P. Croley, General Counsel.

 DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY (DOE) Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EE) Prerule stage 272. Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Packaged Boilers *Legal Authority:*42 U.S.C. 6313(a)(6)(C) *Abstract:*
                         EPCA, as amended by AEMTCA, requires the Secretary to determine whether updating the statutory energy conservation standards for commercial packaged boilers is technically feasible and economically justified. If justified, the Secretary will issue amended energy conservation standards for such equipment. *Timetable:* Action
