Title: ●Rulemaking to Determine Exemption of 120 Volt, 100 Watt R20 Short Incandescent Reflector Lamp for Spa Applications 
Abstract: DOE is granting the National Electrical Manufacturers Association's (NEMA's) petition to undertake a rulemaking to determine whether to exempt from energy conservation standards under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA, 42 U.S.C. 6291, et seq.), a type of incandescent reflector lamp (IRL). Specifically, NEMA seeks an exemption for 120 volt (V), 100 watt (W), R20 short (having a maximum overall length (MOL) of 3 5/8 (or 3.625) inches) lamps ("R20 short lamps") marketed for use in hot tub spas. Such a review for exemption is authorized under 42 U.S.C. 6291(30)(E), which allows the Secretary, by rule, to exclude a fluorescent or incandescent lamp if standards for such lamp would not result in significant energy savings because such lamp is designed for special applications or has special characteristics not available in reasonably substitutable lamp types.
