Title: Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Residential Dishwashers 
Abstract:

Consistent with the requirements under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is examining whether to amend the current energy and water conservation standards for residential dishwashers and whether the water standards should return to the statutory levels. Once completed, this rulemaking will fulfill DOE’s statutory obligation to determine whether the requirements of 42 U.S.C. 6295 are met. Any rulemaking action will also 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.
