Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 177 / Thursday, September 16, 2021 / Proposed Rules 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. Pursuant to OMB Memorandum M1915, Improving Implementation of the Information Quality Act April 24, 2019, DOE published updated guidelines which are available at www.energy.gov/sites/prod/files/2019/
12/f70/DOE%20Final%20Updated %20IQA%20Guidelines%20Dec %202019.pdf. DOE has reviewed this NOPD under the OMB and DOE
guidelines and has concluded that it is consistent with applicable policies in those guidelines.
K. Review Under Executive Order 13211
E.O. 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 the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs 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 E.O. 12866, or any successor Executive 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 regulatory action to classify air cleaners as covered products is not a significant regulatory action under Executive Order 12866.
Moreover, it would not have a significant adverse effect on the supply, distribution, or use of energy, nor has it been designated as such by the Administrator of OIRA. Accordingly, DOE has not prepared a Statement of Energy Effects.

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. DOE has determined that the analyses conducted for this rulemaking do not constitute 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. 70 FR 2667 Jan. 14, 2005.
The analyses were subject to predissemination review prior to issuance of this rulemaking.
