View Rule

The Department of Energy (DOE) is considering whether to cover miscellaneous gas products, including decorative hearth products and outdoor heaters, as a consumer product type. To do so, DOE must determine whether the applicable criteria under 42 U.S.C. 6292(b)(1) have been met. Subsequently, if DOE determines it is appropriate to designate miscellaneous gas products (including decorative hearth heaters and outdoor heaters) as covered products, DOE may set energy conservation standards for such products, subject to the provisions in 42 U.S.C. 6295(o) and (p), provided that DOE first determines that the four additional criteria at 42 U.S.C. 6295(l) have been met.
