[Federal Register Volume 81, Number 97 (Thursday, May 19, 2016)] [Proposed Rules] [Page 31561] From the Federal Register Online [www.thefederalregister.org] [FR Doc No: 2016-11912] [[Page 31561]] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY 10 CFR Parts 429 and 431 [Docket No. EERE-2010-BT-TP-0044] RIN 1904-AC37 Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedures for High-Intensity Discharge Lamps; Withdrawal AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy. ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; withdrawal. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) withdraws its proposal for establishing test procedures for high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps in light of the fact that DOE published a final determination on December 9, 2015 concluding that energy conservation standards for HID lamps are not justified, thereby negating the need for an HID test procedure. DATES: The proposed rule published on December 15, 2011 (76 FR 77914) and updated on May 22, 2014 (79 FR 29632) is withdrawn as of May 19, 2016. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Lucy deButts, U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Building Technologies Office, EE-2J, 1000 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20585-0121.

Telephone: (703) 887-7971. Email: [email protected]. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Authority Title III of EPCA (42 U.S.C. 6291, et seq.), Public Law 94-163, sets forth a variety of provisions designed to improve energy efficiency. Part C of title III, which for editorial reasons was re- designated as Part A-1 upon incorporation into the U.S. Code (42 U.S.C. 6311-6317), establishes the ``Energy Conservation Program for Certain Industrial Equipment,'' a program covering certain industrial equipment, which include the HID lamps that are the subject of this notice. Pursuant to EPCA, DOE must prescribe test procedures and energy conservation standards for HID lamps for which DOE has determined that standards would be technologically feasible, economically justified, and would result in a significant conservation of energy. (42 U.S.C. 6317(a)(1)) II. Discussion On December 15, 2011, DOE published a Notice of Proposed rulemaking to establish test procedures for HID lamps under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA). 76 FR 77914. Subsequently, on May 22, 2014, DOE published a Supplemental Notice of Proposed rulemaking, updating the earlier NOPR test procedure. 79 FR 29632. Today, DOE is withdrawing its test procedure proposal because on December 9, 2015 it published a final determination that energy conservation standards for HID lamps are not justified, consequently negating the need for an HID test procedure. 80 FR 76355.
