Department of Energy 10 CFR Part 430 [EERE-2021-BT-STD-0029] RIN 1904-AE64 AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy. ACTION: Notification of proposed determination and request for comment. SUMMARY: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended (“EPCA”), prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including consumer furnace fans. EPCA also requires the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE”) to periodically determine whether more-stringent, amended standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would result in significant energy savings. In this notification of proposed determination (“NOPD”), DOE has initially determined that it could not conclude that amended standards would be cost effective, and thus, is not proposing to amend its energy conservation standards for these products. DOE requests comment on this proposed determination and the associated analyses and results. DATES: Meeting: DOE will hold a webinar upon request. Please request a public webinar no later than October 20, 2023. See section VII, “Public Participation,” for webinar registration information, participant instructions, and information about the capabilities available to webinar participants. Comments: Written comments and information are requested and will be accepted on or before December 5, 2023. ADDRESSES: Intere…
