1904-AF50 202304 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 1904 Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy EE 1900 Department of Energy DOE Test Procedure for Dishwashers

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to add clarifying instructions regarding the dishwasher detergent reporting requirements and an enforcement provision for dishwashers to specify the detergent and dosing method that DOE would use for any enforcement testing of dishwasher models certified in accordance with the currently applicable dishwasher test procedure prior to July 17, 2023. DOE is also proposing to add within the recently amended test procedure clarifying instructions regarding the allowable dosing options for each type of detergent. This rulemaking is being conducted to address a single specific issue and make minor corrections to the current test procedures that are required for certification of compliance with applicable energy conservation standards, and does not satisfy the 7-year lookback requirement prescribed by EPCA.
