Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of 
Energy.

ACTION: Interim final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (the Department) gives notice of an 
Interim Final Rule to establish test procedures for fluorescent and 
incandescent lamps, incorporating by reference test procedures adopted 
by the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), American National 
Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Commission on 
Illumination (CIE). The Energy Policy Act of 1992 requires the 
Department of Energy to administer an energy conservation program for 
certain major household appliances and commercial equipment. Among 
other program elements, the law requires that standard methods of 
testing be prescribed for each covered product. Today's Interim Final 
Rule will put lighting test procedures in effect so that lighting 
manufacturers can meet the testing requirements imposed by the Energy 
Policy Act of 1992.

DATES: This rule is effective October 28, 1994. The incorporation by 
reference of certain publications listed in the regulations is approved 
by the Director of the Federal Register as of October 28, 1994.
    Written comments (eight copies) in response to this notice must be 
received by December 12, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Written comments (eight copies) are to be submitted to: U.S. 
Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Introduction

    Part B of Title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act 
(EPCA), Pub. L. 94-163, as amended by the National Energy Conservation 
Policy Act (NECPA), Pub. L. 95-619, the National Appliance Energy 
Conservation Act (NAECA) of 1987, Pub. L. 100-12, the National 
Appliance Energy Conservation Amendments of 1988 (NAECA 1988), Pub. L. 
100-357, and the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPACT), Pub. L. 102-486, 
created the Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products other 
than Automobiles (Program).1 The consumer and commercial products 
currently subject to this Program (often referred to hereafter as 
``covered products'') include general service fluorescent lamps and 
general service incandescent lamps, the subject of today's notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\Part B of Title III of EPCA, as amended, is referred to in 
this Interim Final Rule as the ``Act.'' Part B of Title III is 
codified at 42 U.S.C. 6291-6309.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Under the Act, the Program consists essentially of three parts: 
testing, labeling, and Federal energy conservation standards. The 
Department, in consultation with the National Institute of Standards 
and Technology, is required to amend or establish new test procedures 
as appropriate for each of the covered products. Section 323. Test 
procedures shall be reasonably designed to produce test results which 
measure energy efficiency, energy use, or estimated annual operating 
cost of a covered product during a representative average use cycle or 
period of use and shall not be unduly burdensome to conduct. Section 
323(b)(3). A test procedure is not required if the Department of Energy 
determines by rule that one cannot be developed. Section 323(d)(1). One 
hundred and eighty days after a test procedure for a product is 
adopted, no manufacturer may represent the energy consumption or cost 
of energy consumed by the product except as reflected in tests 
conducted according to the Department of Energy procedure. Section 
323(c)(2).
    However, the 180-day period referred to in section 323(c)(2) may be 
extended for an additional 180 days if the Secretary determines that 
the requirements of section 323(c)(2) would impose undue burden. 
Section 323(c)(3). Test procedures appear at 10 CFR Part 430, subpart 
B.
    Labeling rules for household appliances and certain commercial 
products are administered by the Federal Trade Commission.
    Section 323(b)(6) of the Act also specifies that the Secretary 
shall prescribe test procedures for fluorescent lamps and incandescent 
reflector lamps taking into consideration the applicable standards of 
the Illuminating Engineering Society or American National Standards 
Institute. These test procedures have all been reviewed by the National 
Institute of Standards and Technology in consultation with the National 
Electrical Manufacturers Association. DOE has determined that these 
test procedures will meet its needs. Therefore, today's Interim Final 
Rule incorporates by reference: The test methods found in Illuminating 
Engineering Society test procedure LM-9-88 for testing and measuring 
the performance of general service fluorescent lamps; Illuminating 
Engineering Society test procedures LM-58-1983, and LM-16-1984 and the 
International Commission on Illumination publication number 13.2-1974 
for measuring the color rendering index of general service fluorescent 
lamps which is incorporated by reference in the Illuminating 
Engineering Society publication number LM-16-1984; and Illuminating 
Engineering Society test procedure LM-20-1982 for testing and measuring 
the performance of incandescent reflector lamps. Additionally, today's 
Interim Final Rule incorporates by reference the test methods found in 
Illuminating Engineering Society test procedure LM-66-1991 for testing 
and measuring the performance of medium base compact fluorescent lamps 
and Illuminating Engineering Society test procedure LM-45-91 for 
testing and measuring the performance of general service incandescent 
lamps.
    The above test procedures do not provide for a measurement of 
annual energy consumption and annual operating cost which are needed to 
comply with the Act. Therefore, the Department's test procedures 
include a method of calculating the estimated annual energy consumption 
and the estimated annual operating cost. The Department is publishing 
elsewhere in this issue a Proposed Rule amending part 430 to define 
colored fluorescent and incandescent lamps and to define the exemption 
from energy conservation standards for a rough or vibration service 
incandescent reflector lamp.

II. Discussion

    By this notice, the Department is adding a new section to establish 
test procedures for general service fluorescent and incandescent lamps. 
These test procedures will apply to those products covered by sections 
322(a)(14) and 325(i)(1) of the Act.

A. Covered Product

    The definitions of covered products are found in section 322 of the 
Energy Policy and Conservation Act as amended. For lamps, covered 
products in section 322(a)(14) include only specified fluorescent 
lamps, i.e., 4-foot medium bi-pin, 2-foot U-shaped, 8-foot slimline and 
8-foot high output, and incandescent reflector lamps. The Department 
believes that covered lamps in section 322(a)(14) of the Act should 
also include general service fluorescent lamps, medium base compact 
fluorescent lamps, and general service incandescent lamps as defined in 
Sec. 430.2 of this notice, infra. Adding these lamps to the covered 
products would be consistent with section 324(a)(2)(C)(i) of the Act, 
which requires the Federal Trade Commission to label general service 
fluorescent lamps, medium base compact fluorescent lamps, and general 
service incandescent lamps.

B. Test Procedure

    The Department is establishing test procedures in appendix R to 
subpart B of 10 CFR part 430 by reference to American National 
Standards Institute standards C78.1-1991, C78.2-1978, C78.3-1991, 
C78.375-1991, C82.3-1983, Illuminating Engineering Society standards 
LM-9-1988, LM-16-1984, LM-20-1982, LM-45-1991, LM-58-1983, LM-66-1991 
and International Commission on Illumination publication 13.2-1974 
which is incorporated by reference in the Illuminating Engineering 
Society publication number LM-16-1984. Any subsequent amendment to this 
standard by the standard-setting organizations, American National 
Standards Institute, the Illuminating Engineering Society, or the 
International Commission on Illumination, will not affect the 
Department of Energy test procedures, which can be amended only by the 
Department of Energy. This test procedure will provide, inter alia, 
results suitable for determining whether the covered lamps comply with 
the standard levels established by the Act.
    Although the Department's authority to prescribe test procedures 
under section 323(b)(6) is limited to fluorescent lamps and 
incandescent reflector lamps, the Department is incorporating by 
reference test procedures for general service incandescent lamps and 
medium base compact fluorescent lamps by authority of section 323(b)(2) 
of the Act. Data from these test procedures can also be used in the 
labeling program administered by the Federal Trade Commission.
    The test procedure for general service fluorescent lamps is a 
method for measuring the lumen output of a seasoned lamp (the lamp is 
initially burned for 100 hours) in an integrating sphere or 
alternatively, by intensity distribution measurements (Illuminating 
Engineering Society LM-9-1988). Requirements for test conditions, 
equipment, instrumentation, procedures, and test report are included.
    The test procedure for general service incandescent lamps 
(Illuminating Engineering Society LM-45-1991) is a method for 
determining the luminous output of general service incandescent lamps 
based upon measurement. Three methods are described in LM-45-1991, an 
integrating sphere, a goniometer, and substitution measurements, but 
the Department is incorporating only the integrating sphere and 
goniometer test methods because they are more accurate. Lamps shall be 
tested at 60 Hz and 120 volts regardless of their voltage rating.
    The test procedure for incandescent reflector lamps (Illuminating 
Engineering Society LM-20-1982) is a method for determining the 
luminous output of incandescent reflector lamps based upon measurement. 
Two methods are described in LM-20-1982, one using an integrating 
sphere, and the other using intensity distribution measurements. The 
Department of Energy test procedures incorporate only the intensity 
distribution measurement procedure because it is more accurate and 
measurements on similar lamps are more consistent. Requirements for 
test conditions, equipment, instrumentation, procedures and test report 
are included.
    The test procedure for medium base compact fluorescent lamps is a 
method for measurement of the lumen output of a seasoned lamp (100 
hours burn-in) in an integrating sphere or by intensity distribution 
measurements (Illuminating Engineering Society LM-66-1991). The test 
procedure requires measurement of the lamp and ballast combination. 
Therefore, only section 4, reference ballasts, section 5, circuits, and 
section 6, lamp connections, are incorporated from Illuminating 
Engineering Society LM-66-1991. Because measurements without a 
reference ballast may exhibit greater variance in the lumen output and 
watt input measurements, the Department of Energy invites comments 
addressing the appropriate confidence bounds and sample size for these 
lamps.

C. Basic Model

    The Department is including in today's rulemaking definitions of 
``basic models'' of general service fluorescent lamp, and general 
service incandescent lamp in Sec. 430.2. These definitions will 
separate the various types of general service fluorescent lamps by 
electrical and photometric characteristics, e.g., lamp efficacy, 
wattage, and color rendering index. General service incandescent lamps 
are distinguished by their wattage and lamp efficacy. Each unit within 
a basic model must have the same electrical characteristics. 
Furthermore, each unit within a given basic model cannot have any 
differing physical or functional characteristics that affect energy 
consumption.

D. Measures of Energy Consumption

    The Department of Energy in today's notice is adopting three 
measures of energy consumption: (a) Estimated annual operating cost, 
(b) lamp efficacy, and (c) estimated annual energy consumption. These 
measures are to be included in Sec. 430.22(r). The estimated annual 
operating cost, lamp efficacy, and estimated annual energy consumption 
will provide the consumer with three means of evaluating the energy 
efficiency of fluorescent and incandescent reflector lamps. The 
Department has based the calculations of the measures of energy 
consumption for general service fluorescent lamps on the use of 
Illuminating Engineering Society Standard LM-9-1988, for general 
service incandescent lamps on Illuminating Engineering Society Standard 
LM-45-1991, for incandescent reflector lamps on Illuminating 
Engineering Society Standard LM-20-1982 and for medium base compact 
fluorescent lamps on Illuminating Engineering Society Standard LM-66-
1991.
     The estimated annual operating cost is expressed in 
dollars per year. It is the product of the Department of Energy 
representative unit energy cost for electricity, the input power, and 
the representative average use cycle.
     The estimated annual energy consumption is expressed in 
kilowatt-hours per year. It is the product of the input power and the 
representative average use cycle.
     The lamp efficacy is a ratio of lamp lumen output to total 
input wattage as determined by the use of the measurement procedures in 
Illuminating Engineering Society LM-9-1988, LM-20-1982, LM-45-1991 or 
LM-66-1991.

E. Color Rendering Index (CRI)

    The Color Rendering Index is referenced in Illuminating Engineering 
Society LM-16-1984 which the Department is incorporating by reference. 
This guide discusses several techniques for assessing light source 
color appearance. The relationship between color appearance and light 
source spectral power distribution is discussed, along with the systems 
for classifying color appearance. The basics of spectroradiometry and 
colorimetry are covered.
    The Color Rendering Index is determined by measuring the degree of 
color shift objects undergo when illuminated by a light source as 
compared with the color of those same objects when illuminated by a 
reference source of comparable color temperature. This index is 
determined pursuant to the International Commission on Illumination 
Publication 13.2-1974 which the Department is incorporating by 
reference. The method uses spectroradiometric measurements and a 
detailed calculation procedure. It is applicable to most general 
purpose lamp types including general service fluorescent and 
incandescent lamps, incandescent reflector lamps and compact 
fluorescent lamps.
    Spectroradiometric measurements and equipment setup follow the 
guidance in Illuminating Engineering Society LM-58-1983 which is being 
incorporated by reference. This guide describes the equipment used in 
making spectroradiometric measurements, the procedures to be followed 
in using the equipment, and the precautions that should be taken to 
obtain consistently valid results. The methods are applicable to all 
lamp types, and are based on the measurement of the complete spectral 
power distribution of the source. Data presentation and error analysis 
are discussed.

F. Number of Units to be Tested

    The Act specifies that applicable fluorescent and incandescent 
reflector lamps shall meet the standard. Furthermore, the Act requires 
that the certification report include the lumen output and wattage 
consumption for each lamp type as an average of measurements taken over 
the preceding 12 months. The Department believes that the sampling plan 
for fluorescent and incandescent reflector lamps provides a sound 
statistical basis for measurements.
    The Department is adopting at Sec. 430.23(r) a sampling plan based 
on a 99 percent confidence level for testing general service 
fluorescent lamps, general service incandescent lamps, incandescent 
reflector lamps, and medium base compact fluorescent lamps. The 
sampling provisions the Department of Energy is adopting today require 
testing a minimum sample of 20 lamps. The manufacturer must randomly 
select three lamps per month for any 7 of the 12 months required to 
determine the average. If there are less than 7 months' production, the 
manufacturer may divide the minimum sample of 20 as evenly as possible 
into each month of production. The provision for less than 7 month's 
production is to cover production runs of special or limited lamps 
which are subject to regulation.
    The same sample of 20 lamps which were used for lamp efficacy 
testing shall be used for measurement of the Color Rendering Index. The 
Department believes that this testing requirement will satisfy the 
standard which calls for lamp efficacy and color rendering index 
measurements.
    The Department believes these provisions promote the objectives of 
the Act while minimizing the burden on manufacturers. Manufacturers and 
other interested persons are encouraged to comment on this sampling 
approach, as well as the underlying assumptions.

G. Laboratory Accreditation

    The Act at section 323(b)(6), directs DOE to prescribe test 
procedures which must be carried out by accredited test laboratories. 
The Department herein defines an accredited laboratory as one which 
meets the standards and requirements of the National Voluntary 
Laboratory Accreditation Program, a division of the National Institute 
of Standards and Technology of the United States Department of 
Commerce. Test laboratory accreditation by the National Voluntary 
Laboratory Accreditation Program is based on conformance with criteria 
published in 15 CFR part 285 and in the National Voluntary Laboratory 
Accreditation Program Handbook 150-01, ``Energy Efficient Lighting 
Products, Lamps and Luminaires,'' August 1993. The National Voluntary 
Laboratory Accreditation Program Handbook 150-01 is available for 
inspection in the DOE reading room from 9 to 4, Monday through Friday 
or may be ordered from the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation 
Program, Building 411, Room A162, Gaithersburg, MD 20899.
    The National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program has mutual 
recognition agreements with the following countries: Canada, New 
Zealand, Australia and Great Britain. These agreements, with the 
aforesaid countries, allow foreign test laboratories to be recognized 
by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program. The 
National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program will also directly 
accredit foreign test laboratories. Costs for laboratory accreditation 
are borne by the test laboratory.

H. Certification Data

    The Department is adding a new paragraph for lamp certification 
data at Sec. 430.62(a)(2). The lamp manufacturers' certification report 
must include the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program 
identification number, production date codes, lamp efficacy, Color 
Rendering Index, where applicable, lamp wattage, brand names and model 
designation. Since lamps manufactured prior to the effective date of 
the standards may be in the distribution system for some time, lamp 
manufacturers should advise DOE on how to interpret their production 
date coding system in the certification report. All other requirements 
of Sec. 430.62 and Appendix A, Compliance Statement, also apply to 
general service fluorescent lamps and incandescent reflector lamps.

I. Energy Conservation Standards

    The Act prescribes, and today's notice includes in Sec. 430.32, 
energy conservation standards for general service fluorescent and 
incandescent reflector lamps. There are no standards for general 
service incandescent lamps or medium base compact fluorescent lamps.

J. Definitions

    By this notice, the Department of Energy is amending the definition 
of ``Act'' as it appears in Sec. 430.2. The amended definition will 
include the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (Pub. L. 102-486). The legislated 
definitions for incandescent lamp, general service incandescent lamp, 
fluorescent lamp, general service fluorescent lamp, and medium base 
compact fluorescent lamp are included in Sec. 430.2. Note that there is 
an inconsistency in the Act between the definition for ``fluorescent 
lamp'' and the definition for ``medium base compact fluorescent lamp.'' 
The definition for ``fluorescent lamp'' only includes four lamp types 
and does not include a medium base compact fluorescent lamp. Faced with 
this conflict, the Department has included the definition of ``medium 
base compact fluorescent lamp'' and has included test procedures as 
noted above. The Department has also defined cold temperature lamp in 
Sec. 430.2 from an industry standard.
    The Act provides for an exemption from the standards for lamps 
specifically designed for cold temperature installations. See 
Sec. 321(30)(B)(ii). The Department is defining ``cold temperature'' 
lamps as those lamps specifically designated and marketed for outdoor 
or cold temperature use and that are designed to start at -20 deg.F 
when used with a ballast conforming to the requirements of American 
National Standards Institute standard C78.1.
    Lamps that meet these requirements would not be subject to 
standards. In order to qualify for the exemption, the lamps must be 
``specifically'' designed for cold temperature installations and must 
be specifically designated and marketed as such in catalogs, sales 
literature and other promotional material.

K. Prohibited Acts and Penalties

    Since the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (EPAct) amends the Energy 
Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), the enforcement provisions may not 
be apparent. Therefore, the following statements reiterate the 
provisions from the Energy Policy and Conservation Act in section 332 
and the regulations at 10 CFR Section 430.61. The statute prohibits the 
following actions:
    (1) For any manufacturer or private labeler to distribute in 
commerce any new covered product to which a rule under section 324 
applies, unless such covered product is labeled in accordance with such 
rule;
    (2) For any manufacturer, distributor, retailer, or private labeler 
to remove from any new covered product or render illegible any label 
required to be provided with such product under a rule under section 
324;
    (3) For any manufacturer to fail to permit access to, or copying 
of, records required to be supplied under this part, or fail to make 
reports or provide other information required to be supplied under this 
part;
    (4) For any person to fail to comply with an applicable requirement 
of section 326(a), (b)(2), (b)(3), or (b)(5); or
    (5) for any manufacturer or private labeler to distribute in 
commerce any new covered product which is not in conformity with an 
applicable energy conservation standard established in or prescribed 
under this part.
    The maximum penalties are $100 for each violation. Each violation 
of (1), (2) and (5), above, shall constitute a separate violation with 
respect to each covered product, and each day of violation of (3) and 
(4), above, shall constitute a separate violation.

III. Environmental Review

    Pursuant to section 7(c)(2) of the Federal Energy Administration 
Act of 1974 (Pub. L. 93-275), a copy of this notice has been submitted 
to the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency for comment 
concerning the impact of this proposal on the quality of the 
environment.
    Since test procedures are used to standardize the measurement of 
energy usage, and will not affect the quality or distribution of energy 
usage, prescribing test procedures will not result in any environmental 
impacts. The Department of Energy, therefore, has determined that 
prescribing test procedures under the Program is not a major Federal 
action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment 
within the meaning of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969.
    This Rulemaking, which amends existing part 430 of title 10, will 
not change the environmental effect of such regulation, and is an item 
which is ``categorically excluded (A6)'' by the Department of Energy's 
regulations on National Environmental Policy Act Implementing 
Procedures (10 CFR part 1021) (57 FR 15122, April 24, 1992) (Appendix A 
to subpart D, Categorical Exclusion A6.). Consequently, neither an 
Environmental Impact Statement nor an Environmental Assessment is 
required for this rule.

IV. Regulatory Planning and Review

    Today's regulatory action has been determined not to be a 
``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order 12866, 
``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993). 
Accordingly, today's action was not subject to review under the 
Executive Order by the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs.

V. Regulatory Flexibility Act

    The Regulatory Flexibility Act (Pub. L. 96-345) (5 U.S.C. 601-612) 
requires that an agency prepare an initial regulatory flexibility 
analysis and that it be published at the time the Interim Final Rule is 
published. This requirement (which appears in section 603) does not 
apply if the agency ``certifies that the rule will not, if promulgated, 
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities.'' This rule affects manufacturers of general service 
fluorescent and incandescent lamps. As previously discussed, the test 
procedures would not have significant economic impact, but rather, 
would provide common testing methods. Therefore, the Department of 
Energy certifies that this rule, if promulgated, would not have a 
``significant economic impact on a substantial number of small 
entities.''

VI. Federalism Review

    Executive Order 12612 (52 FR 41685, October 30, 1987) requires that 
regulations or rules be reviewed for any substantial direct effects on 
States, on the relationship between the Federal Government and the 
States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among 
various levels of government. If there are sufficient substantial 
direct effects, then Executive Order 12612 requires preparation of a 
federalism assessment to be used in all decisions involved in 
promulgating and implementing a regulation or a rule.
    The Department of Energy has identified a substantial direct effect 
that today's Interim Final Rule would have on State governments. It 
would initially preempt inconsistent State regulations. However, the 
Department of Energy has concluded that such effect is not sufficient 
to warrant preparation of a federalism assessment for the following 
reason: The Act provides for subsequent State petitions for exemption. 
Thus, a determination as to whether a State law prevails must be made 
on a case-by-case basis using criteria set forth in the Act. When the 
Department of Energy receives such a petition, it will then be 
appropriate to consider preparing a federalism assessment consistent 
with the criteria in the Act.

VII. Review Under Section 32 of the Federal Energy Administration 
Authorization Act

    This notice of interim final rulemaking incorporates by reference 
Illuminating Engineering Society, American National Standards Institute 
and International Commission on Illumination commercial test procedures 
to measure the efficiency of general service fluorescent and 
incandescent lamps and the color rendering index of fluorescent lamps. 
The commercial standards are Illuminating Engineering Society LM-9-
1988, Illuminating Engineering Society LM-16-1984, Illuminating 
Engineering Society LM-20-1983, Illuminating Engineering Society LM-45-
1991, Illuminating Engineering Society LM-58-1982, Illuminating 
Engineering Society LM-1991, American National Standards Institute 
C78.1-1991, American National Standards Institute C78.2-1978, American 
National Standards Institute C78.3-1991, American National Standards 
Institute C78.375-1991, American National Standards Institute C82.3-
1983, and International Commission on Illumination Publication No. 
13.2.-1974.
    Pursuant to section 301 of the Department of Energy Organization 
Act (Pub. L. 95-91), the Department of Energy is required to comply 
with section 32 of the Federal Energy Administration Act of 1974, as 
amended by section 9 of the Federal Energy Administration Authorization 
Act of 1977. 15 U.S.C. 788.
    The findings required of the Department of Energy by section 32 
serve to alert the public regarding the use and background of 
commercial standards in a proposal and through the rulemaking process. 
They allow interested persons to make known their views regarding the 
appropriateness of the use of any particular commercial standard in a 
notice of proposed rulemaking.
    The Department of Energy has evaluated Illuminating Engineering 
Society LM-9, LM-16, LM-20, LM-45, LM-58, LM-66, American National 
Standards Institute C78.1, C78.2, C78.3, C78.375, C82.3, and 
International Commission on Illumination Publication No. 13.2 with 
regard to compliance with Section 32(b). The Department is unable to 
conclude whether these standards fully complied with the requirements 
of section 32(b), i.e., that they are developed in a manner which fully 
provided for public participation, comment, and review.
    As required by section 32(c), the Department of Energy will consult 
with the Attorney General and the Chairman of the Federal Trade 
Commission concerning the impact of these standards on competition, 
prior to issuing a notice of Final Rulemaking.

VIII. Interim Final Effect

    The Interim Final Rule establishes the Department of Energy test 
procedures for general service fluorescent lamps, general service 
incandescent lamps, incandescent reflector lamps, and medium base 
compact fluorescent lamps incorporating by reference industry 
standards. This Interim Final Rule allows the Department of Energy to 
promulgate test procedures so that lamp manufacturers can meet the 
schedule imposed by the Energy Policy Act of 1992. Section 123(f)(2). 
The normal rulemaking process would be impracticable and contrary to 
the public interest because the process would not allow for 
promulgation of a final rule in time for manufacturers to complete 
testing for certification.
    The Energy Policy Act of 1992 requires manufacturers to test lamps 
for a 12-month period preceding the date standards are to take effect 
in order to certify that the lamps meet the standard. Section 
123(f)(2). For two lamp types, the Energy Policy Act specifies that the 
effective date for standards to take effect is April 30, 1994 and for 
others the effective date is October 31, 1995. Section 123(f). Until a 
test procedure is prescribed, compliance with the standard cannot be 
determined. This interim final rule will allow manufacturers to begin 
the 12-month testing period to determine compliance with the standards. 
The Department could not practicably facilitate such a result if a 
proposed rule were necessary. It is in the public interest to 
facilitate that result and therefore to issue this interim final 
regulation without providing for public comment prior to giving them 
final effect. 5 U.S.C. 553. However, the Department of Energy is 
providing for a post-publication public comment period and expects to 
respond to relevant comments in a notice of Final Rulemaking.

Sec. 430.24  Units to be tested.

* * * * *
    (r)(1) For each basic model of general service fluorescent lamp and 
general service incandescent lamp as those terms are defined in 
paragraphs (15) and (16) of the definition for ``basic model'' in 
Sec. 430.2, samples of production lamps shall be tested and the results 
for all samples shall be averaged for a 12-month period. A minimum 
sample of 20 lamps shall be tested. The manufacturer shall randomly 
select 3 lamps from each month of production for 7 out of the 12 months 
required for the average. In the instance where a basic model of 
general service fluorescent lamp or general service incandescent lamp 
has been manufactured for less than 7 of the preceding 12 months, the 
number of lamps selected shall be divided as evenly as possible among 
the months of production to attain a minimum sample of 20 lamps. The 
lamp efficacy of the sample lamps shall be the quotient of the average 
of the lumen output and watts input measurements to insure that any 
represented value of lamp efficacy or other measure of the energy 
consumption of a basic model for which consumers would favor a higher 
value shall be no greater than the lower of (i) The mean of the sample 
or (ii) The lower 99 percent confidence limit of the true mean divided 
by 0.99.
    (2) For each basic model of general service fluorescent lamp except 
for medium base compact fluorescent lamps, as defined in paragraph (15) 
of Sec. 430.2, random samples of production lamps from 12 months of 
production shall be selected for testing the Color Rendering Index 
(CRI). The CRI shall be represented as the average of a minimum sample 
of 20 lamps from the same production lots which were chosen for 
measurement in Sec. 430.24(r)(1), i.e., the manufacturer shall measure 
all lamps for lumens, watts input, and CRI. The 20 CRI measurements 
shall be averaged to insure that any represented value of CRI of a 
basic model for which consumers would favor a higher value shall be no 
greater than the lower of (i) The mean of the sample or (ii) The lower 
99 percent confidence limit of the true mean divided by 0.99.
