View Rule

This action rescinds the amended energy conservation standards for dehumidifiers, except for those applicable to whole-home dehumidifier products. The action does not apply to whole-home dehumidifiers, which are a class of dehumidifier product for which values have not been set statutorily. This action returns the conservation standards for non-whole-home dehumidifier products manufactured after October 1, 2012, to those values prescribed by statute in 42 USC 6295(cc). Any rulemaking action will be consistent with the President's direction in Executive Order 14154, Unleashing American Energy, to preserve consumer choice as well as DOE's statutory obligation to preserve appliance features in the market.
