HR 6 PCS 
istration, in consultation with the Secretary of Energy and 
the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agen-
cy, shall develop and coordinate a Government-wide pro-
gram, building on the existing Energy Star for Small 
Business Program, to assist small businesses to become 
more energy efficient, understand the cost savings obtain-
able through efficiencies, and identify financing options 
for energy efficiency upgrades. The Secretary and the Ad-
ministrator of the Small Business Administration shall 
make the program information available directly to small 
businesses and through other Federal agencies, including 
the Federal Emergency Management Program and the 
Department of Agriculture.’’.

sign that— 
‘‘(A) is designed to be permanently fixed in 
place to identify an exit; and
HR 6 PCS 
‘‘(B) consists of an electrically powered in-
tegral light source that illuminates the legend 
‘EXIT’ and any directional indicators and pro-
vides contrast between the legend, any direc-
tional indicators, and the background. 
‘‘(36)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph 
(B), the term ‘distribution transformer’ means a 
transformer that— 
‘‘(i) has an input voltage of 34.5 kilovolts 
or less; 
‘‘(ii) has an output voltage of 600 volts or 
less; and 
‘‘(iii) is rated for operation at a frequency 
of 60 Hertz. 
‘‘(B) The term ‘distribution transformer’ does 
not include— 
‘‘(i) transformers with multiple voltage 
taps, with the highest voltage tap equaling at 
least 20 percent more than the lowest voltage 
tap; 
‘‘(ii) transformers, such as those commonly 
known as drive transformers, rectifier trans-
formers, 
auto-transformers, 
Uninterruptible 
Power System transformers, impedance trans-
formers, regulating transformers, sealed and
HR 6 PCS 
nonventilating 
transformers, 
machine 
tool 
transformers, welding transformers, grounding 
transformers, or testing transformers, that are 
designed to be used in a special purpose appli-
cation and are unlikely to be used in general 
purpose applications; or 
‘‘(iii) any transformer not listed in clause 
(ii) that is excluded by the Secretary by rule be-
cause— 
‘‘(I) the transformer is designed for a 
special application; 
‘‘(II) the transformer is unlikely to be 
used in general purpose applications; and 
‘‘(III) the application of standards to 
the transformer would not result in signifi-
cant energy savings. 
‘‘(37) The term ‘low-voltage dry-type distribu-
tion transformer’ means a distribution transformer 
that— 
‘‘(A) has an input voltage of 600 volts or 
less; 
‘‘(B) is air-cooled; and 
‘‘(C) does not use oil as a coolant. 
‘‘(38) The term ‘standby mode’ means the low-
est power consumption mode that—
HR 6 PCS 
‘‘(A) cannot be switched off or influenced 
by the user; and 
‘‘(B) may persist for an indefinite time 
when an appliance is connected to the main 
electricity supply and used in accordance with 
the manufacturer’s instructions, 
as defined on an individual product basis by the Sec-
retary. 
‘‘(39) The term ‘torchiere’ means a portable 
electric lamp with a reflector bowl that directs light 
upward so as to give indirect illumination. 
‘‘(40) The term ‘traffic signal module’ means a 
standard 8-inch (200mm) or 12-inch (300mm) traf-
fic signal indication, consisting of a light source, a 
lens, and all other parts necessary for operation, 
that communicates movement messages to drivers 
through red, amber, and green colors. 
‘‘(41) The term ‘transformer’ means a device 
consisting of 2 or more coils of insulated wire that 
transfers alternating current by electromagnetic in-
duction from 1 coil to another to change the original 
voltage or current value. 
‘‘(42) The term ‘unit heater’ means a self-con-
tained fan-type heater designed to be installed with-
HR 6 PCS 
in the heated space, except that such term does not 
include a warm air furnace. 
‘‘(43) The term ‘ceiling fan’ means a non-port-
able device that is suspended from a ceiling for cir-
culating air via the rotation of fan blades. 
‘‘(44) The term ‘ceiling fan light kit’ means 
equipment designed to provide light from a ceiling 
fan which can be— 
‘‘(A) integral, such that the equipment is 
attached to the ceiling fan prior to the time of 
retail sale; or 
‘‘(B) attachable, such that at the time of 
retail sale the equipment is not physically at-
tached to the ceiling fan, but may be included 
inside the ceiling fan package at the time of 
sale or sold separately for subsequent attach-
ment to the fan.’’. 
(b) TEST PROCEDURES.—Section 323 of the Energy 
Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6293) is amend-
ed— 
(1) in subsection (b), by adding at the end the 
following: 
‘‘(9) Test procedures for illuminated exit signs shall 
be based on the test method used under Version 2.0 of
HR 6 PCS 
the Energy Star program of the Environmental Protection 
Agency for illuminated exit signs. 
‘‘(10) Test procedures for distribution transformers 
and low voltage dry-type distribution transformers shall 
be based on the ‘Standard Test Method for Measuring the 
Energy Consumption of Distribution Transformers’ pre-
scribed by the National Electrical Manufacturers Associa-
tion (NEMA TP 2–1998). The Secretary may review and 
revise this test procedure. For purposes of section 346(a), 
this test procedure shall be deemed to be testing require-
ments prescribed by the Secretary under section 346(a)(1) 
for distribution transformers for which the Secretary 
makes a determination that energy conservation standards 
would be technologically feasible and economically justi-
fied, and would result in significant energy savings. 
‘‘(11) Test procedures for traffic signal modules shall 
be based on the test method used under the Energy Star 
program of the Environmental Protection Agency for traf-
fic signal modules, as in effect on the date of enactment 
of this paragraph. 
‘‘(12) Test procedures for medium base compact fluo-
rescent lamps shall be based on the test methods used 
under the August 9, 2001, version of the Energy Star pro-
gram of the Environmental Protection Agency and De-
partment of Energy for compact fluorescent lamps. Cov-
