Abstract
The Department of Energy (DOE or Department) today promulgates a rule to elaborate on the procedures, interpretations and policies that will guide the Department in establishing new or revised energy efficiency standards for consumer products. The process described in this rule provides for greatly enhanced opportunities for public input, improved analytical approaches, and encouragement of consensus-based standards. This enhanced approach was developed by the Department on the basis of extensive consultations with many stakeholders.
