Title: ●Standards of Performance for New Residential Wood Heaters, New Residential Hydronic Heaters and Forced-Air Furnaces Amendment 
Abstract:

This action is proposing to amend the Standards of Performance for New Residential Wood Heaters and New Residential Hydronic Heaters and Forced-Air Furnaces. In response to the situation created by the COVID-19 pandemic, this proposed action proposes to allow retailers affected Step 1 compliant new residential wood heaters and new residential hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces that are manufactured or imported before the May 15, 2020 compliance date to be sold at retail through November 30, 2020. This will allow retailers to recover the sales opportunities lost due to the pandemic for the sale of Step 1 compliant wood heaters, hydronic heaters and forced-air furnaces remaining in inventory.
