View Rule

DOE initiated a rulemaking for commercial and industrial compressors under part A-1 of title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended under RIN 1904-AC83, which covered compressors in general.  DOE understands that air compressors and gas compressors are different equipment serving different markets and significantly different purposes.  As a consequence, these compressors are designed and built differently from their compressor counterparts. To help account for these differences, DOE is establishing separate rulemakings to address energy conservation standards for: (1) commercial and industrial air compressors; and (2) commercial and industrial gas compressors.  To this end, DOE is splitting RIN 1904-AC83 into two separate rulemakings as follows: (1) air compressors under 1904-AC83; and (2) gas compressors under this RIN.
