View Rule

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has initiated an early assessment review to determine whether any new or amended energy conservation standards would satisfy the relevant requirements of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act for commercial pre-rinse spray valves. Once completed, this rulemaking will fulfill DOE’s statutory obligation to either propose amended energy conservation standards for these products or to determine that the existing standards do not need to be amended. To this end, DOE must determine whether national standards more stringent than those currently in place would result in a significant amount of energy savings and whether such amended national standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified.
