information on the potential efficiency improvements achievable through their use.
Issue 2: DOE seeks input on whether the maximum available efficiency levels presented below are appropriate and technologically feasible for potential consideration as possible energy conservation standards for the products at issueand if not, why not.

Issue 3: DOE requests comment on design options that may not be applicable to or incompatible with specific product classes.
B. Significant Savings of Energy On June 13, 2016, DOE established energy conservation standards for dehumidifiers that are expected to result in 0.10 quadrillion Btu quads site energy savings, or 6.7 percent relative to the expected energy use without amending the standards, over a 30-year period.3 81 FR 38338, 38340.
Additionally, in the June 2016 Final Rule, DOE estimated that an energy conservation standard established at an energy efficiency level equivalent to that achieved using the maximum available technology max-tech would have resulted in 0.19 additional quads of site energy savings. This represents a 13.0
percent reduction in energy use compared to the estimated national energy use at the established energy conservation standard level. If DOE
determines that a more-stringent energy conservation standard would not result in an additional 0.3 quads of site energy savings or an additional 10-percent reduction in site energy use over a 30year period, DOE would propose to make a no-new-standards determination. DOE seeks comment on energy savings that could be expected 3 Energy savings values for the adopted standard reported in 81 FR 38338, 38340 0.30 quads savings, or 7.4 percent reduction in energy use relative to the expected energy use without amending standards are evaluated based on the full-fuel cycle.

from more-stringent standards for dehumidifiers.
C. Economic Justification In determining whether a proposed energy conservation standard is economically justified, DOE analyzes, among other things, the potential economic impact on consumers, manufacturers, and the Nation. DOE
seeks comment on whether there are economic barriers to the adoption of more-stringent energy conservation standards. DOE also seeks comment and data on any other aspects of its economic justification analysis from the June 2016 Final Rule that may indicate whether a more-stringent energy conservation standard would not be economically justified or cost effective.
While DOEs request for information is not limited to the following issues, DOE is particularly interested in comment, information, and data on the following.
Issue 4: DOE seeks information on the cost of implementing variable-speed compressors in dehumidifiers.
III. Submission of Comments DOE invites all interested parties to submit in writing by July 6, 2021, comments and information on matters addressed in this notice and on other matters relevant to DOEs early assessment of whether more-stringent energy conservation standards are not warranted for dehumidifiers.
Submitting comments via https
www.regulations.gov. The https
www.regulations.gov web page requires you to provide your name and contact information. Your contact information will be viewable to DOE Building Technologies staff only. Your contact information will not be publicly viewable except for your first and last names, organization name if any, and submitter representative name if any.
If your comment is not processed properly because of technical difficulties, DOE will use this information to contact you. If DOE
cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, DOE may not be able to consider your comment.
However, your contact information will be publicly viewable if you include it in the comment or in any documents attached to your comment. Any information that you do not want to be publicly viewable should not be included in your comment, nor in any document attached to your comment. If this instruction is followed, persons viewing comments will see only first and last names, organization names, correspondence containing comments,

www.regulations.gov cannot be claimed as CBI. Comments received through the website will waive any CBI claims for the information submitted. For information on submitting CBI, see the Confidential Business Information section.
DOE processes submissions made through https www.regulations.gov before posting. Normally, comments will be posted within a few days of being submitted. However, if large volumes of comments are being processed simultaneously, your comment may not be viewable for up to several weeks. Please keep the comment tracking number that https
www.regulations.gov provides after you have successfully uploaded your comment.
Submitting comments via email.
Comments and documents submitted via email will be posted to https
www.regulations.gov. If you do not want your personal contact information to be publicly viewable, do not include it in your comment or any accompanying documents. Instead, provide your contact information in a cover letter.
Include your first and last names, email address, telephone number, and optional mailing address. The cover letter will not be publicly viewable as long as it does not include any comments.
Include contact information each time you submit comments, data, documents, and other information to DOE. Faxes will not be accepted.
Comments, data, and other information submitted to DOE
electronically should be provided in PDF preferred, Microsoft Word or Excel, WordPerfect, or text ASCII file format. Provide documents that are not secured, written in English and free of any defects or viruses. Documents should not contain special characters or any form of encryption and, if possible, they should carry the electronic signature of the author.
Campaign form letters. Please submit campaign form letters by the originating organization in batches of between 50 to 500 form letters per PDF or as one form letter with a list of supporters names compiled into one or more PDFs. This reduces comment processing and posting time.
