Description: The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") published a direct final rule to establish new and amended energy conservation standards for electric motors in the Federal Register on 1 June 2023 (88 FR 36066). DOE has determined that the comments received in response to the direct final rule do not provide a reasonable basis for withdrawing the direct final rule. Therefore, DOE provides this document confirming the effective and compliance date of those standards.

10 CFR Part 431 is accessible online at: https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-10/chapter-II/subchapter-D/part-431.

The effective date of 29 September 2023, for the direct final rule published 1 June 2023, is confirmed. Compliance with the new standards established in the direct final rule is required on and after 1 June 2027.
