Title: Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Residential Conventional Ovens

Description: TITLE: Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Conventional Cooking Products

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy

ACTION: Notification of proposed determination and request for comment

SUMMARY: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended ("EPCA"), prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including consumer conventional cooking products. EPCA also requires the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") to periodically determine whether more-stringent standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would result in significant energy savings. In this notification of proposed determination ("NOPD"), DOE has initially determined that amended energy conservation standards for consumer conventional cooking products would not be economically justified and would not result in a significant conservation of energy. DOE requests comment on this proposed determination and the associated analyses and results.

DATES:
Meeting: DOE will hold a webinar on Thursday, 28 January 2021, from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. See section V, "Public Participation," for webinar registration information, participant instructions, and information about the capabilities available to webinar participants.

Comments: Written comments and information are requested and will be accepted on or before 1 March 2021.

This notification of proposed determination and request for comment and previous actions notified as G/TBT/N/USA/998 are identified by Docket Number EERE-2014-BT-STD-0005. The Docket Folder is available on Regulations.gov at https://www.regulations.gov/docket?D=EERE-2014-BT-STD-0005 and provides access to primary and supporting documents as well as comments received.
