SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On January 20, 2016, ASRAC met and 
unanimously passed the recommendation to form a Circulator Pumps 
Working Group. The purpose of the working group is to discuss and, if 
possible, reach consensus regarding definitions, test procedures, and 
energy conservation standards, to form the basis of proposed energy 
conservation standards and test procedures. The Working Group consists 
of representatives of parties having a defined stake in the outcome of 
the proposed standards, and will consult as appropriate with a range of 
experts on technical issues. Per the ASRAC Charter, the Working Group 
is expected to make a concerted effort to negotiate a final term sheet 
by September 30, 2016. This document announces the next series of 
meetings for this working group.
    DOE will host public meetings and webinars on the below dates.
