Additional Information: Due to the Department's limited staff and financial resources, regulatory actions related to energy efficiency standards have been categorized as high, medium, and low priority based on significant input from the public. The dishwasher standard has been upgraded to a medium priority, and the Department plans to begin work on this standard within the next two fiscal years.
