in the expenditure by State, local, and Tribal governments, in the aggregate, or by the private sector, of $100 million or more in any year. Accordingly, no further assessment or analysis is required under UMRA.
H. Review Under the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act, 1999
Section 654 of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act, 1999 Pub. L. 105277 requires Federal agencies to issue a Family Policymaking Assessment for any rule that may affect family well-being. This proposed 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.
I. Review Under Executive Order 12630
Pursuant to Executive Order 12630, Governmental Actions and Interference with Constitutionally Protected Property Rights, 53 FR 8859 March 18, 1988, DOE has determined that this proposed rule would not result in any takings that might require compensation under the Fifth Amendment to the U.S.

J. Review Under the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act, 2001
Section 515 of the Treasury and General Government Appropriations Act, 2001 44 U.S.C. 3516 note provides for Federal agencies to review most disseminations of information to the public under information quality guidelines established by each agency pursuant to general guidelines issued by OMB. OMBs guidelines were published at 67 FR 8452 Feb. 22, 2002, and DOEs guidelines were published at 67
FR 62446 Oct. 7, 2002. DOE has reviewed this proposed rule under the OMB and DOE guidelines and has concluded that it is consistent with the applicable policies in those guidelines.
K. Review Under Executive Order 13211
Executive Order 13211, Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use, 66 FR 28355 May 22, 2001 requires Federal agencies to prepare and submit to OIRA a Statement of Energy Effects for any proposed significant energy action. A significant energy action is defined as any action by an agency that promulgated or is expected to lead to promulgation of a final rule, and that: 1i Is a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866, or any successor order, and ii

is likely to have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy; or 2 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 regulatory action would not have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy, and it has not been designated by the Administrator of OIRA as a significant energy action; it therefore is not a significant energy action. Accordingly, DOE has not prepared a Statement of Energy Effects.
L. Review Consistent With OMBs Information Quality Bulletin for Peer Review On December 16, 2004, OMB, in consultation with the Office of Science and Technology Policy OSTP, issued its Final Information Quality Bulletin for Peer Review the Bulletin. 70 FR
2664 Jan. 14, 2005. The Bulletin establishes that certain scientific information shall be peer reviewed by qualified specialists before it is disseminated by the Federal Government, including influential scientific information related to agency regulatory actions. The purpose of the bulletin is to enhance the quality and credibility of the Governments scientific information. Under the Bulletin, the energy conservation standards rulemaking analyses are influential scientific information, which the Bulletin defines as scientific information the agency reasonably can determine will have or does have a clear and substantial impact on important public policies or private sector decisions. Id. at 70 FR 2667.
In response to OMBs Bulletin, DOE
conducted formal in-progress peer reviews of the energy conservation standards development process and analyses and has prepared a Peer Review Report pertaining to the energy conservation standards rulemaking analyses. Generation of this report involved a rigorous, formal, and documented evaluation using objective criteria and qualified and independent reviewers to make a judgment as to the technical/scientific/business merit, the actual or anticipated results, and the productivity and management effectiveness of programs and/or projects. The Energy Conservation Standards Rulemaking Peer Review

Report, dated February 2007, has been disseminated and is available at the following website: https www1.eere.
energy.gov/buildings/appliance_
standards/peer_review.html. Because available data, models, and technological understanding have changed since 2007, DOE has engaged with the National Academy of Sciences to review DOEs analytical methodologies to ascertain whether modifications are needed to improve the Departments analyses. The results from that review are expected later in 2021.
