II, III, and X 48 CFR Ch. 9 Semiannual Regulatory Agenda 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), including its Regulatory Plan (Plan), 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 statute, including amendments contained in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 and 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 entire Fall 2015 Agenda can be accessed online by going to: www.reginfo.gov. Agenda entries reflect the status of activities as of approximately November 30, 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 six rulemakings that will either set energy efficiency standards or establish test procedures for the following products:Ceiling Fan Light Kits Ceiling Fans Commercial Pre-Rinse Spray Valves Light-Emitting Diode Lamps Refrigerated Bottled or Canned Beverage Vending Machines The Plan appears in both the online Agenda and the Federal Register and includes the most important of DOE's significant regulatory actions and a Statement of Regulatory and Deregulatory Priorities.

RIN: 1904-AD00 239. Energy Conservation Standards for Ceiling Fans Legal Authority: 42 U.S.C. 6295(ff) Abstract: EPCA authorizes the Secretary to determine whether updating the statutory energy conservation standards for ceiling fans is technically feasible and economically justified and would result in significant energy savings. If these criteria are met, the Secretary may issue amended energy conservation standards for ceiling fans.

Test Procedures for Light-Emitting Diode Lamps Legal Authority: 42 U.S.C. 6294(a)(6); 42 U.S.C. 6293 Abstract: EPCA, as amended by EISA 2007, requires the Secretary to create test procedures for light emitting diode (LED) lamps that accurately represent the energy consumption of this product. The Secretary will issue new test procedures by December 2015. This rulemaking is supporting the implementation by the Federal Trade Commission of labeling provisions under 42 U.S.C.6294(a)(6). The rulemaking will include methods for determining lumen output, input power, correlated color, temperature, and lifetime.
