Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for
General Service Incandescent Lamps; Correction
AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
ACTION: Notice of proposed determination and request for comment;
correction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On September 5, 2019, the U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'')
published a notice of proposed determination (``NOPD'') initially
determining that energy conservation standards for general service
incandescent lamps (``GSILs'') do not need to be amended (hereafter the
``September 2019 NOPD''). This correction addresses typographical
errors that appear in the September 2019 NOPD. This document corrects
values listed in Tables V.4, V.7, V.9, and V.10, and corrects
duplicative numbering of tables and reference to those tables. Neither
the errors nor the corrections in this document affect the substance of
the rulemaking or any initial conclusions reached in support of the
NOPD.
DATES: This document is published on September 24, 2019.

Counsel, GC-33, 1000 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20585-0121.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In support of the September 2019 NOPD and
the proposed determination that energy conservation standards for GSILs
do not need to be amended, DOE conducted a shipments analysis, a life-
cycle cost (``LCC'') analysis, a national impact analysis (``NIA''),
and a manufacturer impact analysis (``MIA''). DOE displayed certain
results of the LCC analysis in Table V.4, certain results of the NIA in
Table V.7, and certain results of the MIA in Tables V.9 and V.10. There
are typographical errors in these tables and the discussion of these
tables. All these corrections result in minor differences to the
magnitude of the values changed and do not impact the proposed
determination presented in the document. For the shipments analysis
correction, the value changes by 2.2 percent; for the LCC analysis
correction, the value changes by 0.13 percent; for the NIA corrections,
the values change between 0.04 and 0.05 percent; and for the MIA
corrections, the values change between 5 and 6 percent. The NOPD also
assigned duplicative table numbers to two sets of tables, which may
result in confusion when referencing the tables. This document
identifies and corrects these typographical errors.
Correction
In the Federal Register published on September 5, 2019 (84 FR
46830), in FR Doc. 2019-18941, the following corrections are made:
1. On page 46848, in the 1st column, correct the 4th sentence in
the 1st paragraph to read:
``In the scenario with substitution, fitting the NEMA data to the
widely used Bass model for the market adoption of new technology \35\
suggests that, even in the absence of Federal regulation, LED lamps
will have captured a significant majority of the GSL market by 2023
(79.5 percent of the residential market and 94.2 percent of the
commercial market).'';
2. On page 46849, replace the table heading ``Table IV.12--Summary
of Inputs and Methods for the National Impact Analysis'' with ``Table
IV.13--Summary of Inputs and Methods for the National Impact
Analysis'';
3. On page 46849, in the 3rd column, correct the 1st sentence in
the 2nd paragraph to read:
``Table IV.13 summarizes the inputs and methods DOE used for the
NIA analysis for the NOPD.'';
4. On page 46853, in Table V.4--Average Annualized LCC Savings
Results by Trial Standard Level-LCC with Substitution-Continued,
replace the value ``0.43'' in the column headed ``Percent of consumers
that experience net cost'' with ``0.3'';
5. On page 46853, replace the table heading ``Table V.4--Cumulative
[[Page 49966]]
National Energy Savings for GSILs and GSIL alternatives; 30 Years of
Shipments (2023-2052)'' with ``Table V.5--Cumulative National Energy
Savings for GSILs and GSIL alternatives; 30 Years of Shipments (2023-
2052)'';
6. On page 46853, in the 3rd column, correct the 3rd sentence in
the 1st paragraph to read:
``Table V.5 presents DOE's projections of the NES for each TSL
considered for GSILs, as well as considered GSIL alternatives.'';
7. On page 46853, in the 3rd column, correct the 5th sentence in
the 1st paragraph to read:
``In addition to GSIL energy savings, Table V.5 illustrates the
increased energy consumption of consumers who transition to out-of-
scope lamps, including CFL, LED, and incandescent alternatives, because
more consumers purchase these lamps at TSL 1 relative to the no-
standards case.'';
8. On page 46854, in the 3rd column, correct the 1st sentence in
the 1st paragraph to read:
``The NES sensitivity analysis results based on a 9-year analytical
period are presented in Table V.6.'';
9. On page 46854, in Table V.7--Cumulative Net Present Value of
Quantifiable Consumer Benefits for GSILs and GSIL Alternatives; 30
Years of Shipments (2023-2052), replace the values ``5.436'' and
``4.173'' in the column headed ``TSL 1'' with ``5.434'' and ``4.171''
respectively;
10. On page 46855, in the 3rd column, correct the 1st sentence in
the 3rd paragraph to read:
``Table V.9 and Table V.10 present the results of the industry cash
flow analysis for GSIL manufacturers under the preservation of gross
margin and the technology specific markup scenarios.'';
11. On page 46855, in Table V.9--Manufacturer Impact Analysis for
GSILs--Preservation of Gross Margin Markup Scenario, replace the values
``(5.0)'' and ``(1.6)'' in the column headed ``TSL 1'' with ``(5.3)''
and ``(1.7)'' respectively;
12. On page 46856, in Table V.10--Manufacturer Impact Analysis for

in the column headed ``TSL 1'' with ``(3.9)'';
13. On page 46856 in the 1st column, correct the 1st sentence of
the 1st paragraph to read:
``At TSL 1, DOE estimates that impacts on INPV will range from -
$5.3 million to -$3.9 million, or a change in INPV of -1.7 to -1.2
percent.'';
14. On page 46858, in the 1st column, correct the 1st sentence in
the 5th paragraph to read:
``Under the consumer choice analysis, the NPV of consumer benefits
at TSL 1 would be $2.241 billion using a discount rate of 7 percent,
and $4.171 billion using a discount rate of 3 percent.''; and
15. On page 46858 in the 2nd column, correct the 4th sentence of
the 1st paragraph to read:
``At TSL 1, DOE estimates that INPV will decrease between $5.3
million to $3.9 million, or a decrease in INPV of 1.7 to 1.2 percent.''
Procedural Issues and Regulatory Review
DOE has concluded that the initial determinations made pursuant to
the various procedural requirements applicable to the September 2019
NOPD remain unchanged for this NOPD technical correction. These initial
determinations are set forth in the September 2019 NOPD. 84 FR 46830,
