I. Introduction DOE established an early assessment review process to conduct a more focused analysis that would allow DOE
to determine, based on statutory criteria, whether an amended test procedure is warranted. 10 Code of Federal Regulations CFR part 430 subpart C
appendix A section 8a. This RFI
requests information and data regarding whether an amended test procedure would more accurately and fully comply with the requirement that the test procedure produce results that measure energy use during a representative average use cycle or period of use for the product, and not be unduly burdensome to conduct. To inform interested parties and to facilitate this process, DOE has identified several issues associated with the currently applicable test procedures on which DOE is interested in receiving comment. Based on the information received in response to the RFI and DOEs own analysis, DOE will determine whether to proceed with a rulemaking for an amended test procedure.
If DOE makes an initial determination that an amended test procedure would more accurately or fully comply with statutory requirements, or DOEs analysis is inconclusive, DOE would undertake a rulemaking to issue an amended test procedure. If DOE makes an initial determination based upon available evidence that an amended test procedure would not meet the applicable statutory criteria, DOE would
