This action rescinds the energy conservation standards for microwave ovens. Microwave ovens are not a consumer product type specified in EPCA and have not separately been determined by the Secretary to be a covered product. Removing the conservation standards for microwave ovens from the cooking products covered product class in 10 CFR 430.32 is consistent with the plain meaning of 42 U.S.C. 6292(10). 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.
