Priority: Other Significant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 6834

CFR Citation: 10 CFR 435

Legal Deadline: Final, Statutory, October 24, 1994.

Abstract: Title III of the Energy Conservation and Production Act as 
amended by the Energy Policy Act of 1992 directs DOE to establish 
Federal building energy standards that require in new Federal buildings 
those energy efficiency measures that are technologically feasible and 
economically justified. The standards for Federal buildings are 
intended to parallel closely the voluntary building energy codes of the 
Energy Policy Act for private sector construction. Interim energy 
performance standards which DOE had issued before enactment of the 
Energy Policy Act are to remain in effect for the Federal sector until 
the new Federal building energy standards become effective.

768. ENERGY EFFICIENCY PROGRAM FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT: 
EFFICIENCY STANDARDS FOR PACKAGED TERMINAL AIR CONDITIONERS AND HEAT 
PUMPS; AND OIL- AND GAS-FIRED COMMERCIAL PACKAGE BOILERS

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant. Major status under 5 USC 801 is 
undetermined.

Unfunded Mandates: Undetermined

Legal Authority: 42 USC 6311 to 6316; 42 USC 6313(a)

CFR Citation: 10 CFR 431

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The efficiency requirements in the statute correspond to the 
levels in ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1 as in effect on October 24, 1992. 
The statute further provides that if the efficiency levels in ASHRAE/
IESNA Standard 90.1 are amended after that date for any

[[Page 37418]]

of the covered products, as recently occurred, the Secretary of Energy 
must establish an amended uniform national standard for such equipment 
at the new minimum level for each effective date specified in ASHRAE/
IESNA 90.1, unless he determines that a more stringent standard is 
technologically feasible and economically justified and would result in 
significant additional energy conservation. Additionally, the Secretary 
may not prescribe any amended standard that increases the maximum 
allowable energy use or decreases the minimum required energy 
efficiency of a covered product.

standards have been categorized as high, medium, and low priority based 
on significant input from the public. This action is a high priority 
and the Department is working actively on this action.

Priority: Substantive, Nonsignificant

Legal Authority: 42 USC 6291 to 6309; 28 USC 2461 note

CFR Citation: 10 CFR 430

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: This action would replace the standards levels that were 
established by a final rule published by DOE on May 23, 2002, with the 
higher standard levels contained in a final rule published by DOE on 
January 22, 2001. On January 13, 2004, the U.S. Court of Appeals for 
the Second Circuit ruled that DOE's actions withdrawing the January 22, 
2001, rule and promulgating a rule establishing lower standards were 
unlawful. In addition, this action would set standards for space 
constrained products at the levels set by the May 23, 2002 final rule. 
The January 22, 2001 final rule established the space constrained 
product class, but reserved standards pending further rulemaking.
