Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 11 / Tuesday, January 19, 2021 / Rules and Regulations reports from manufacturers 42 U.S.C.
6316.
EPCA directed DOE to establish a test procedure for those SEMs for which DOE determined that energy conservation standards would 1 be technologically feasible and economically justified and 2 result in significant energy savings. 42 U.S.C.
6317b1 Manufacturers of covered equipment must use the Federal test procedures as the basis for: 1
Certifying to DOE that their equipment complies with the applicable energy conservation standards adopted pursuant to EPCA 42 U.S.C. 6316a; 42
U.S.C. 6295s, and 2 making representations about the efficiency of that equipment 42 U.S.C. 6314d. The DOE test procedures for SEMs appear at 10 CFR part 431, subpart X.
EPCA further directed DOE to prescribe energy conservation standards for those SEMs for which test procedures were established. 42 U.S.C.
6317b2 Additionally, EPCA
prescribed that any such standards shall not apply to any SEM which is a component of a covered product under 42 U.S.C. 6292a or covered equipment under 42 U.S.C. 6311 of EPCA. 42
U.S.C. 6317b3 Federal energy efficiency requirements for covered
equipment established under EPCA
generally supersede State laws and regulations concerning energy conservation testing, labeling, and standards. See 42 U.S.C. 6316a and b; 42 U.S.C. 6297ac.
EPCA requires that, not later than 6
years after the issuance of any final rule establishing or amending a standard, DOE evaluate the energy conservation standards for each type of covered equipment, including those at issue here, and publish either a notice of determination that the standards do not need to be amended, or a NOPR that includes new proposed energy conservation standards proceeding to a final rule, as appropriate. 42 U.S.C.
6316a; 42 U.S.C. 6295m1. EPCA
further provides that, not later than 3
years after the issuance of a final determination not to amend standards, DOE must make a new determination not to amend the standards or issue a NOPR including new proposed energy conservation standards. 42 U.S.C.
6316a; 42 U.S.C. 6295m3B DOE
must make the analysis on which a determination is based publicly available and provide an opportunity for written comment. 42 U.S.C. 6316a; 42
U.S.C. 6295m2

In making a determination that the standards do not need to be amended, DOE must evaluate under the criteria of 42 U.S.C. 6295n2 whether amended standards 1 will result in significant conservation of energy, 2 are technologically feasible, and 3 are cost effective as described under 42 U.S.C.
6295o2BiII. 42 U.S.C. 6316a;
42 U.S.C. 6295m1A and 42 U.S.C.
6295n2 Under 42 U.S.C.
6295o2BiII, an evaluation of cost effectiveness requires DOE to consider savings in operating costs throughout the estimated average life of the covered product in the type or class compared to any increase in the price of, or in the initial charges for, or maintenance expenses of, the covered products which are likely to result from the imposition of the standard.
DOE is publishing this document in accordance with its authority under EPCA, and in satisfaction of its statutory requirement under EPCA.
1. Current Standards The current energy conservation standards for SEMs are located in title 10 CFR 431.446, and are presented in Table II1 and Table II2.
