amended by adding a new paragraph (5) as follows: 
‘‘(5) If manufacturers of any type (or class) of 
covered products or covered equipment, States, and 
efficiency advocates, or persons determined by the 
Secretary to fully represent such parties, submit to 
the Secretary a joint recommendation of an energy 
or water conservation standard and the Secretary 
determines that the recommended standard complies 
with subsection (o) or section 342(a)(6)(B), as appli-
cable, to that type (or class) of covered products or 
covered equipment to which the standard would 
apply, the Secretary may then issue a direct final 
rule including the standard recommended. If the 
Secretary determines that a direct final rule cannot 
be issued based on such a submitted joint rec-
ommendation, the Secretary shall publish a deter-
mination with an explanation as to why the joint 
recommendation does not comply with this para-

rect final rule’ means a final rule published the same 
day with a parallel notice of proposed rulemaking

direct final rule. Not later than 10 days after the ex-
piration of such 110-day period, the Secretary shall 
publish a notice responding to comments received 
with respect to the direct final rule. The Secretary 
shall withdraw a direct final rule promulgated pur-

more adverse public comments or any alternate joint

record, the Secretary determines that such adverse 
comments or alternate joint recommendation may 
provide a reasonable basis for withdrawing the direct 
final rule under subsection (o), section 342(a)(6)(B), 
or any applicable law. In such a case, the Secretary 
shall then proceed with the parallel notice of pro-
posed rulemaking, and shall identify in a notice pub-

withdrawal of the direct final rule. A direct final rule 
that is withdrawn in accordance with this paragraph
