Final  Statutory    12/19/2014 

Overall Description of Deadline: The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007) amended the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) to require that DOE review test procedures for covered products at least once every 7 years. Because test procedures for illuminated exit signs were issued prior to EISA 2007, the DOE determined that the 7-year review period started with the enactment of EISA 2007 on December 19, 2007. DOE will, therefore, amend these test procedures by December 19, 2014.
