Title: Waiver of Federal Preemption of State Regulations Concerning the Water Use or Water Efficiency of Showerheads, Faucets, Water Closets and Urinals 
Abstract:

The U.S. Department of Energy is proposing to repeal the waiver of the general rule of Federal preemption for energy conservation standards with respect to any State regulation concerning the water use or water efficiency of faucets, showerheads, water closets and urinals. 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.
