DOE proposes to replace references to ENERGY STAR requirements with references to the latest versions of industry standard test methods, which, with certain modifications, would replace the existing MBCFL test procedures. DOE is proposing to make these amendments in the existing appendix W to subpart B (Appendix W), renamed as "Uniform Test Method for Measuring the Energy Consumption of Compact Fluorescent Lamps." In addition, DOE proposes to establish test procedures that would support the ongoing energy conservation standards rulemaking for general service lamps (GSLs) (GSL standards rulemaking), including test methods for new performance metrics and for additional compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) categories, including non- integrated CFLs and integrated CFLs that are not MBCFLs. DOE also proposes to revise its sampling plan for manufacturers to certify that their CFLs comply with the applicable energy conservation standards. DOE proposes to incorporate measures of standby mode power consumption in its test procedures. DOE also proposes various other conforming amendments. DOE also announces a public meeting to receive comments on these proposed amendments to the test procedures. 80 FR 45724 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2015-07-31/2015-17866 2015-17866 fr31jy15-21 RIN 1904-AC74 6450-01-P Docket No. EERE-2015-BT-TP-0014 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/FR-2015-07-31/2015-17866 https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-07-31/html/2015-17866.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-07-31/pdf/2015-17866.pdf Confidential Business Information Energy Conservation Household Appliances Imports Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements Administrative Practice and Procedure Incorporation by Reference Intergovernmental Relations Small Businesses 33 p. 45724 45756 80 FR 45724 Title 10 Part 429 10 CFR Part 429 Title 10 Part 430 10 CFR Part 430 RIN 1904-AC74 Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedures for Compact Fluorescent Lamps; Federal Register Vol. 80, Issue PRORULE 2015-17866 II DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 2015-08-31 Docket No. EERE-2015-BT-TP-0014 6450-01-P 2015-17866 Notice of proposed rulemaking and announcement of public meeting.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) proposes to amend and expand its test procedures for medium base compact fluorescent lamps (MBCFLs). DOE proposes to replace references to ENERGY STAR requirements with references to the latest versions of industry standard test methods, which, with certain modifications, would replace the existing MBCFL test procedures. DOE is proposing to make these amendments in the existing appendix W to subpart B (Appendix W), renamed as "Uniform Test Method for Measuring the Energy Consumption of Compact Fluorescent Lamps." In addition, DOE proposes to establish test procedures that would support the ongoing energy conservation standards rulemaking for general service lamps (GSLs) (GSL standards rulemaking), including test methods for new performance metrics and for additional compact fluorescent lamp (CFL) categories, including non- integrated CFLs and integrated CFLs that are not MBCFLs. DOE also proposes to revise its sampling plan for manufacturers to certify that their CFLs comply with the applicable energy conservation standards. DOE proposes to incorporate measures of standby mode power consumption in its test procedures. DOE also proposes various other conforming amendments. DOE also announces a public meeting to receive comments on these proposed amendments to the test procedures.

DOE will hold a public meeting on Monday, August 31, 2015, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., in Washington, DC. The meeting will also be broadcast as a webinar. See section V, "Public Participation," for webinar registration information, participant instructions, and information about the capabilities available to webinar participants.
