Abstract
The Department of Energy (DOE or Department) has determined that revised energy conservation standards for clothes washers will result in significant conservation of energy, are technologically feasible, and are economically justified. On this basis, the Department today amends the existing energy conservation standards for standard- size clothes washers as proposed and as recommended by stakeholders. The Department also amends the standards for compact clothes washers as well as making minor amendments to the test procedure for measuring the energy efficiency of clothes washers.
