Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 152 / Wednesday, August 11, 2021 / Proposed Rules
This proposed rule contains neither an intergovernmental mandate nor a mandate that may result in the expenditures of $100 million or more in any one year, so these requirements under the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act do not apply.
H. Review Under the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act, 1999
Section 654 of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act, 1999 Public Law 105277 requires Federal agencies to issue a Family Policymaking Assessment for any rule that may affect family well-being. This rule would not have any impact on the autonomy or integrity of the family as an institution. Accordingly, DOE has concluded that it is not necessary to prepare a Family Policymaking Assessment.

FR 28355 May 22, 2001, requires Federal agencies to prepare and submit to OIRA at OMB, a Statement of Energy Effects for any proposed significant energy action. A significant energy action is defined as any action by an agency that promulgates or is expected to lead to promulgation of a final rule, and that 1 is a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866, or any successor order; and 2 is likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy, or 3 is designated by the Administrator of OIRA as a significant energy action. For any proposed significant energy action, the agency must give a detailed statement of any adverse effects on energy supply, distribution, or use should the proposal be implemented, and of reasonable alternatives to the action and their expected benefits on energy supply, distribution, and use.
This proposed rule, which would eliminate certain product classes for residential dishwashers, residential clothes washers, and consumer clothes dryers would not have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy and, therefore, is not a significant energy action. Accordingly, DOE has not prepared a Statement of Energy Effects on this proposed rule.
