United States of America- Proposes to revise regulations for certain consumer products and commercial and industrial equipment covered under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE" or the "Department") proposes to revise its existing enforcement regulations for certain consumer products and commercial and industrial equipment covered under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975, as amended (EPCA or the "Act"). The proposal, if adopted, would provide the regulated industry with further clarity and transparency about DOE's enforcement process, including enforcement sampling procedures and test notice requirements. The proposal provides for a process to petition DOE for re-examination of a pending determination of noncompliance, and for DOE to have the discretion to consider third-party certification program testing as official enforcement test data. Ultimately, the proposal will further align DOE's regulations with its statutory authority, foster communication between DOE and the regulated industry, and promote the effective and systematic enforcement of DOE's regulations. Products covered :Certain consumer products and commercial and industrial equipment; Quality (ICS 03.120), Test conditions and procedures in general (ICS 19.020), Electrical engineering in general (ICS 29.020) Proposed date of adoption:To be determined Proposed date of entry into force:To be determined Final date for comments:30 October 2020 |
