Title: Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Compact Residential Clothes Washers 
Abstract:

DOE is proposing to rescind the efficiency standards for compact residential clothes washers. This will eliminate the efficiency standards for compact residential clothes washers completely, leaving the standards for standard size residential clothes washers. 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.
