AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy.
ACTION: Notice of proposed rule and public hearing.
SUMMARY: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended (EPCA), requires the Department of Energy (DOE or the Department) to administer an energy and water conservation program for certain major household appliances and commercial equipment, including certain plumbing products. This proposed rule would codify water conservation standards and test procedures established in EPCA for plumbing products, incorporate by reference water conservation standard and test procedures for faucets and test procedures for showerheads revised by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers/American National Standards Institute (ASME/ANSI), and provide for certification of compliance with plumbing product standards. This proposed rule would also clarify the certification requirements applicable to all residential appliances.
