Energy Conservation Program: Compliance Certification for Electric Motors

This final rule provides a new means for manufacturers of electric motors and their private labelers to prepare and submit Compliance Certification information to the Department of Energy (DOE or the "Department") through an electronic Web-based tool, the Compliance and Certification Management System (CCMS). The CCMS is the preferred mechanism for submitting Compliance Certification information for electric motors covered under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA), as amended. This rule is also being issued to correct the sample Compliance Certification form currently located in Appendix C to Subpart B of 10 CFR Part 431 to be consistent with the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007) energy conservation standards. Additionally, this rule updates the address and contact information used to submit Compliance Certification information through certified mail to DOE.
