Title: Coverage Determination and Energy Conservation Standards for Commercial and Industrial Air Compressors | |
Abstract:
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is classifying compressors as covered equipment under part A1 of title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended. EPCA provides that DOE may include a type of industrial equipment, including compressors, as covered equipment if it determines that to do so is necessary to carry out the purposes of part A1 (42 U.S.C. 6311(2)(B)(i) and 6312(b)). Industrial equipment, including compressors, must be of a type that consumes, or is designed to consume, energy in operation; is distributed in commerce for industrial or commercial use; and is not a covered product as defined in 42 U.S.C. 6291(a)(2) of EPCA (42 U.S.C. 6311 (2)(A)). DOE has determined that compressors, the definition of which DOE is adding to subpart T of 10 CFR 431 and discusses in this rule, meet the statutory requirements under 42 U.S.C. 6311(2)(B)(i) and 6312(b) and is classifying them as covered equipment. DOE is also considering establishing energy conservation standards for commercial and industrial air compressors, which require DOE to determine whether a second set of energy use criteria are met. This RIN applies to both the conservation standards and to the classification. |
