  Ms. Murkowski, from the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, 
                        submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                         [To accompany S. 226]

      [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]

    The Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, to which was 
referred the bill (S. 226) to exclude power supply circuits, 
drivers, and devices designed to be connected to, and power, 
light-emitting diodes or organic light-emitting diodes 
providing illumination or ceiling fans using direct current 
motors from energy conservation standards for external power 
supplies, having considered the same, reports favorably thereon 
without amendment and recommends that the bill do pass.

                                Purpose

    The purpose of S. 226 is to exclude power supply circuits, 
drivers, and devices to be connected to, and power, light-
emitting diodes or organic light-emitting diodes providing 
illumination, or ceiling fans using direct current motors from 
energy conservation standards for external power supplies.

                          Background and Need

    Since the 1973 oil embargo and every subsequent energy 
crisis, studies have shown that the United States could save 
energy and money by investing in energy efficiency measures. 
Today, efficient energy use and the deployment of more 
efficient technologies are critical to the nation's economic 
competitiveness and job creation. In addition, efficient energy 
use reduces pollution that would be associated with energy 
production. Nevertheless, many existing energy efficiency 
technologies and programs have yet to be installed or 
implemented.
    The National Academies released a 2010 study entitled Real 
Prospects for Energy Efficiency in the United States on the 
potential for energy efficiency in commercial and residential 
buildings, transportation, and manufacturing. The study found 
that energy efficiency could more than offset the Energy 
Information Administration's projected increase in U.S. energy 
consumption through 2030.
    In 2005, in the Energy Policy Act (Public Law 109-58), 
Congress amended the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) 
to define external power supplies (EPS) as an ``external power 
supply circuit that is used to convert household electric 
current into DC current or lower-voltage AC current to operate 
a consumer product.'' 42 U.S.C. 6291(36)(A). In addition, it 
directed the Department of Energy (DOE) to set energy 
conservation standards for EPSs.
    DOE adopted standards for EPSs by rule in 2006. 71 Fed. 
Reg. 71340 (Dec. 8. 2006). In February 2014, DOE amended the 
energy conservation standards that applied to certain external 
power supplies and established new ones for others that were 
not previously required to meet energy conservation standards. 
79 Fed. Reg. 7846 (Feb. 10, 2014). The 2014 rule included 
certain solid state lighting drivers, including, for example, 
light emitting diodes (LEDs). However, the design of LED 
drivers is different from the design of an EPS. While EPSs use 
a single stage power conversion, LED drivers utilize a two 
stage power conversion design. The EPS efficiency standards are 
based on a single stage design; the efficiency of a two stage 
design is the product of the efficiencies of each stage, and 
therefore a standard based on a single stage design is not 
appropriate for LED drivers. The 2014 final rule went into 
effect on February 10, 2016, meaning LED drivers are now 
technically not supposed to be available in the market as they 
cannot meet the EPS efficiency standard. If not addressed, the 
EPS standard will lead to LED drivers being taken off of the 
market, disrupting the lighting industry's transition to more 
energy efficient lighting and increasing energy use and costs 
for consumers.
    S. 226 would exclude solid state lighting (e.g., LEDs) 
drivers and ceiling fans using direct current motors from DOE's 
existing EPS standards, and protect these products from being 
captured by other wide ranging DOE regulations that do not deal 
directly with this lighting technology. Additionally, S. 226 
preserves DOE's ability to prescribe an energy conservation 
standard specifically for solid state lighting power supply 
circuits, drivers, and other products in the future, should it 
prove necessary.

                          Legislative History

    S. 226 was introduced by Senators Portman, Cantwell, and 
Shaheen on January 24, 2017.
    Companion legislation, H.R. 518, was introduced in the 
House by Representatives DeGette, Dent, Guthrie, and Matsui on 
January 13, 2017. H.R. 518 was passed in the House of 
Representatives by a voice vote on January 23, 2017.
    In the 114th Congress, an identical bill, S. 2476, was 
introduced by Senators Portman, Alexander, Cantwell, McConnell, 
and Shaheen on February 1, 2016.
    The measure was included in Amendment No. 3168 which the 
Senate agreed to on April 19, 2016, as an amendment to S. 2012, 
the Energy Policy Modernization Act of 2016, which the Senate 
passed, as amended, on April 20, 2016.
    Companion legislation, H.R. 4444, was introduced in the 
House by Representatives Ellmers, DeGette, Dent, Matsui, and 
Pompeo on February 3, 2016. H.R. 4444 was passed in the House 
of Representatives by a voice vote on February 29, 2016. It was 
received in the Senate on March 1, 2016, and referred to the 
Committee on Energy and Natural Resources on July 14, 2016.
    The Committee met in an open business session on March 30, 
2017, and ordered S. 226 favorably reported.

                        Committee Recommendation

    The Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, in an 
open business session on March 30, 2017, by a majority voice 
vote of a quorum present, recommends that the Senate pass S. 
226, as described herein.

                      Section-by-Section Analysis


Section 1. Application of energy conservation standards to certain 
        external power supplies

    Section 1(a) amends Section 321(36)(A) of EPCA (42 U.S.C. 
6291(36)(A)) to exclude from energy conservation standards for 
external power supplies any power supply circuit, driver, or 
device designed exclusively to be connected to, and power, 
light-emitting diodes, organic light-emitting diodes, or 
ceiling fans using direct current motors.
    Subsection (b) amends section 340(2)(B) of EPCA to include 
lighting power supply circuits. This subsection also provides 
the Secretary of Energy with the regulatory authority to 
prescribe energy conservation standards for lighting power 
supply circuits no earlier than one year after the date on 
which a test procedure has been prescribed for such equipment.
    Subsection (c) makes technical corrections to sections 
321(6)(B) and 324 of EPCA.

                   Cost and Budgetary Considerations

    The following estimate of the costs of this measure has 
been provided by the Congressional Budget Office:
    The Energy Policy Act of 2005 directed the Secretary of 
Energy to establish energy conservation standards for external 
power supplies (EPS), which are devices that convert power 
drawn from a wall outlet into lower voltage power that can be 
used directly by certain electronic devices. S. 226 would amend 
the definition of EPS to exclude some technologies and specify 
the circumstances under which the Secretary could establish 
energy conservation standards for such technologies in the 
future.
    CBO estimates that enacting S. 226 would have no 
significant effect on the federal budget. Based on information 
from the Department of Energy, we expect that any change in the 
agency's costs to regulate or establish standards for 
technologies affected by the bill (which would be subject to 
appropriation) would be insignificant in any year.
    Enacting S. 226 would not affect direct spending or 
revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO 
estimates that enacting S. 226 would not increase net direct 
spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 
10-year periods beginning in 2028.
    S. 226 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector 
mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and 
would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal 
governments.
    The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Megan Carroll. 
The estimate was approved by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy 
Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.

                      Regulatory Impact Evaluation

    In compliance with paragraph 11(b) of rule XXVI of the 
Standing Rules of the Senate, the Committee makes the following 
evaluation of the regulatory impact which would be incurred in 
carrying out the bill.
    The bill is not a regulatory measure in the sense of 
imposing Government-established standards or significant 
economic responsibilities on private individuals and 
businesses.
    No personal information would be collected in administering 
the program. Therefore, there would be no impact on personal 
privacy.
    Little, if any, additional paperwork would result from the 
enactment of the bill, as ordered reported.

                   Congressionally Directed Spending

    S. 226, as ordered reported, does not contain any 
congressionally directed spending items, limited tax benefits, 
or limited tariff benefits as defined in rule XLIV of the 
Standing Rules of the Senate.

                        Executive Communications

    Executive Communications on S. 226 were not requested by 
the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources for the 115th 
Congress.

                        Changes in Existing Law

    In compliance with paragraph 12 of rule XXVI of the 
Standing Rules of the Senate, changes in existing law made by 
the original bill, as reported, are shown as follows (existing 
law proposed to be omitted is enclosed in black brackets, new 
matter is printed in italic, existing law in which no change is 
proposed is shown in roman):

in effect on the date of the enactment of the National 
Appliance Energy Conservation Act of 1987 shall remain in 
effect until amended, by rule, by the Commission.
    (B) After the date of the enactment of the National 
Appliance Energy Conservation Act of 1987 and not later than 30 
days after the date on which a proposed test procedure 
applicable to a covered product of any of the types specified 
in paragraphs (1) through (13), and paragraphs (15) through 
[(19)] (20) of section 322(a)(or class thereof) is prescribed 
under section 322(b), the Commission shall publish a proposed 
labeling rule applicable to such type (or class thereof).
    (2) The Commission shall afford interested persons an 
opportunity to present written or oral data, views, and 
comments with respect to the proposed labeling rules published 
under paragraph (1). The period for such presentations shall 
not be less than 45 days.
    (3) Not earlier than 45 days nor later than 60 days after 
the date on which test procedures are prescribed under section 
322(b) with respect to covered products of any type (or class 
thereof) specified in paragraphs (1) through (12) of section

                     ENERGY CONSERVATION STANDARDS

    Sec. 325. (a) Purposes.--The purposes of this section are 
to--
          (1) provide Federal energy conservation standards 
        applicable to covered products; and

           *       *       *       *       *       *       *

    (l) Standards for Other Covered Products.-- (1) The 
Secretary may prescribe an energy conservation standard for any 
type (or class) of covered products of a type specified in 
paragraph [(19)] (20) of section 322(a) if the requirements of 
subsections (o) and (p) are met and the Secretary determines 
that--
          (A) the average per household energy use within the 
        United States by products of such type (or class) 
        exceeded 150 kilowatt-hours (or its Btu equivalent) for 
        any 12-month period ending before such determination;
          (B) the aggregate household energy use within the 
        United States by products of such type (or class) 
        exceeded 4,200,000,000 kilowatt-hours (or its Btu 
        equivalent) for any such 12-month period;
          (C) substantial improvement in the energy efficiency 
        of products of such type (or class) is technologically 
        feasible; and
          (D) the application of a labeling rule under section 
        324 to such type (or class) is not likely to be 
        sufficient to induce manufacturers to produce, and 
        consumers and other persons to purchase, covered 
        products of such type (or class) which achieve the 
        maximum energy efficiency which is technologically 
        feasible and economically justified.
    (2) Any new or amended standard for covered products of a 
type specified in paragraph [(19)] (20) of section 322(a) shall 
not apply to products manufactured within five years after the 
publication of a final rule establishing such standard.
    (3) The Secretary may, in accordance with subsections (o) 
and (p), prescribe an energy conservation standard for 
television sets. Any such standard may not become effective 
with respect to products manufactured before January 1, 1992.
    (4) Energy efficiency standards for certain lamps--
          (A) In general.--The Secretary shall prescribe an 
        energy efficiency standard for rough service lamps, 
        vibration service lamps, 3-way incandescent lamps, 
        2,601-3,300 lumen general service incandescent lamps, 
        and shatter-resistant lamps in accordance with this 
        paragraph.

                or more, including ballast losses (if any), 
                except that light sources with an efficacy of 
                40 lumens per watt or less, including ballast 
                losses (if any), may be used in conjunction 
                with a timer or device that turns off the 
                lights within 15 minutes of when the walk-in 
                cooler or walk-in freezer is not occupied by 
                people.
          (2) Electronically commutated motors.--
                  (A) In general.--The requirements of 
                paragraph (1)(E)(i) for electronically 
                commutated motors shall take effect January 1, 
                2009, unless, prior to that date, the Secretary 
                determines that such motors are only available 
                from 1 manufacturer.
                  (B) Other types of Motors.--In carrying out 
                paragraph (1)(E)(i) and subparagraph (A), the 
                Secretary may allow other types of motors if 
                the Secretary determines that, on average, 
                those other motors use no more energy in 
                evaporator fan applications than electronically 
                commutated motors.
                  (C) Maximum energy consumption level.--The 
                Secretary shall establish the maximum energy 
                consumption level under subparagraph (B) not 
                later than January 1, 2010.

                (for coolers).
                  (D) If the appliance has an antisweat heater 
                with antisweat heat controls, and the total 
                door rail, glass, and frame heater power draw 
                is more than 7.1 watts per square foot of door 
                opening (for freezers) and 3.0 watts per square 
                foot of door opening (for coolers), the 
                antisweat heat controls shall reduce the energy 
                use of the antisweat heater in a quantity 
                corresponding to the relative humidity in the 
                air outside the door or to the condensation on 
                the inner glass pane.

                  (A) In general.--Not later than January 1, 
                2020, the Secretary shall publish a final rule 
                to determine if the standards established under 
                paragraph (4) should be amended.
                  (B) Application.--
                          (i) In general.--Except as provided 
                        in clause (ii), the rule shall provide 
                        that the standards shall apply to 
                        products manufactured beginning on the 
                        date that is 3 years after the final 
                        rule is published.
                          (ii) Delayed effective date.--If the 
                        Secretary determines, by rule, that a 
                        3-year period is inadequate, the 
                        Secretary may establish an effective 
                        date for products manufactured
