Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Metal Halide Lamp Fixtures Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy.
ACTION: Final determination.
AGENCY:

The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended EPCA, prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including metal halide lamp fixtures MHLFs. EPCA also requires the U.S.
Department of Energy DOE to periodically determine whether morestringent, standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would result in significant energy savings. In this final determination, DOE has determined that the energy conservation standards for MHLFs do not need to be amended because they are not economically justified.
DATES: The effective date of this final determination is November 24, 2021.
ADDRESSES: The docket for this rulemaking, which includes Federal Register notices, public meeting attendee lists and transcripts, comments, and other supporting documents/materials, is available for review at www.regulations.gov. All documents in the docket are listed in the www.regulations.gov index.
However, not all documents listed in the index may be publicly available, such as information that is exempt from public disclosure.
