sumer satisfaction. 
‘‘(cc) EFFECTIVE DATE.—Section 327 shall apply—
‘‘(1) to products for which standards are to be

‘‘(B) Adjustable speed controls (either 
more than 1 speed or variable speed). 
‘‘(C) The capability of reversible fan ac-
tion, except for fans sold for industrial applica-
tions, outdoor applications, and where safety 
standards would be violated by the use of the

‘‘(2) REVISED STANDARDS.—
‘‘(A) IN GENERAL.—Notwithstanding any

‘‘(B) SPECIAL
CONSIDERATION.—If the 
Secretary sets such standards, the Secretary

‘‘(i) exempting or setting different 
standards for certain product classes for 
which the primary standards are not tech-

and 
‘‘(ii) establishing separate exempted 
product classes for highly decorative fans 
for which air movement performance is a 
secondary design feature. 
‘‘(C) APPLICATION.—Any air movement 
standard prescribed under this subsection shall 
apply to products manufactured on or after the 
date that is 3 years after the date of publica-
tion of a final rule establishing the standard.’’.

section 323. In the case of products to which TP–1 stand-
ards under section 325(y) apply, labeling requirements 
shall be based on the ‘Standard for the Labeling of Dis-
tribution Transformer Efficiency’ prescribed by the Na-
tional Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA TP–
3) as in effect upon the date of enactment of this para-
graph.’’. 
SEC. 135. PREEMPTION.
