Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for General Service Incandescent Lamps

The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended ("EPCA"), directs DOE to initiate a rulemaking for general service lamps ("GSLs") that, among other requirements, determines whether standards in effect for general service incandescent lamps ("GSILs," a subset of GSLs) should be amended. On September 5, 2019, the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") published a notice of proposed determination ("NOPD") in which DOE initially determined that energy conservation standards for GSILs do not need to be amended. In this final determination, DOE responds to comments received on the September 2019 GSIL NOPD and does not adopt amended energy conservation standards for GSILs. DOE has determined that amended energy conservation standards for GSILs would not be economically justified.
