II, III, and X 48 CFR Ch. 9 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions AGENCY: Department of Energy. ACTION: Semiannual regulatory agenda. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) has prepared and is making available its portion of the semiannual Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions (Agenda) pursuant to Executive Order 12866, ``Regulatory Planning and Review,'' and the Regulatory Flexibility Act. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Agenda is a government-wide compilation of upcoming and ongoing regulatory activity, including a brief description of each rulemaking and a timetable for action. The Agenda also includes a list of regulatory actions completed since publication of the last Agenda. The Department of Energy's portion of the Agenda includes regulatory actions called for by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, the American Energy Manufacturing Technical Corrections Act and programmatic needs of DOE offices. The Internet is the basic means for disseminating the Agenda and providing users the ability to obtain information from the Agenda database. DOE's Spring 2015 Agenda can be accessed online by going to www.reginfo.gov. Agenda entries reflect the status of activities as of approximately May 31, 2015. Publication in the Federal Register is mandated by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602) only for Agenda entries that require either a regulatory flexibility analysis or periodic review under section 610 of that Act. DOE's regulatory flexibility agenda is made up of five rulemakings setting energy efficiency standards for the following products:Automatic Commercial Ice Makers Hearth Products Commercial Packaged Boilers Commercial Warm Air Furnaces Single Package Vertical Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps Steven P. Croley, General Counsel. Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy--Proposed Rule Stage ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Regulation Sequence No. Title Identifier No. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 94........................

Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial Packaged Boilers Legal Authority: 42 U.S.C. 6313(a)(6)(C) Abstract: EPCA, as amended by AEMTCA, requires the Secretary to determine whether updating the statutory energy conservation standards for commercial packaged boilers is technically feasible and economically justified and would save a significant amount of energy. If justified, the Secretary will issue amended energy conservation standards for such equipment.

Energy Conservation Standards for Single Package Vertical Air Conditioners and Single Package Vertical Heat Pumps Legal Authority: 42 U.S.C. 6313(a)(6) and (10) Abstract: This rulemaking amends energy conservation standards for single package vertical air conditioners (SPVAC) and single package vertical heat pumps (SPVHP). The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), as amended, prescribes energy conservation standards for SPVAC and SPVHP and directs DOE to review those standards in light of the latest industry standards for that equipment. DOE must adopt the latest industry standard unless DOE determines that there is clear and convincing evidence supporting the adoption of more stringent levels.
