TITLE:
Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedures for Certain Categories of General
Service Lamps
AGENCY: Office of Energy
Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy
ACTION: Supplemental notice of
proposed rulemaking
SUMMARY: This supplemental
notice of proposed rulemaking (SNOPR) proposes to establish test procedures for
certain categories of general service lamps (GSLs) to support the ongoing
energy conservation standards rulemaking. Specifically, this rulemaking
proposes new test procedures for determining the initial lumen output, input
power, lamp efficacy, power factor, and standby mode power of GSLs that are not
integrated light-emitting diode (LED) lamps, compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs),
or general service incandescent lamps (GSILs). This SNOPR revises the previous
proposed test procedures for GSLs by referencing Illuminating Engineering
Society (IES) LM-79-08 for the testing of non- integrated LED lamps. The U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) is also proposing to clarify references to the
existing lamp test methods and sampling plans for determining the represented values
of integrated LED lamps, CFLs, and GSILs.
DATES: DOE will accept comments,
data, and information regarding this SNOPR no later than 19 August 2016.
See section V, "Public Participation," for details.
