Regulatory Agenda
AGENCY: Department of Energy.
ACTION: Notice of semiannual regulatory agenda.
_______________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) has prepared and is making
available its portion of the semiannual Unified Agenda of Federal
Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions (Agenda), including its Regulatory
Plan (Plan), pursuant to Executive Order 12866 ``Regulatory Planning
and Review,'' 58 FR 51735, and the Regulatory Flexibility Act, 5 U.S.C.
601 et seq.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Agenda is a government-wide compilation
of upcoming and ongoing regulatory activity, including a brief
description of each rulemaking and a timetable for action. The Agenda
also includes a list of regulatory actions completed since publication
of the last Agenda. The Department of Energy's portion of the Agenda
includes regulatory actions called for by the Energy Policy Act of
2005, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, and
programmatic needs of DOE offices.
The Internet is the basic means for disseminating the Agenda
and providing users the ability to obtain information from the
Agenda database. DOE's entire fall 2010 Agenda can be accessed
online by going to: www.reginfo.gov. Agenda entries reflect the
status of activities as of approximately November 30, 2010.
Publication in the Federal Register is mandated by the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602) only for Agenda entries
that require either a regulatory flexibility analysis or periodic
review under section 610 of that Act. Included in this Agenda are
two rulemakings: (1) Energy Efficiency Standards for Pool Heaters
and Direct Heating and equipment and Water Heaters; and (2) Energy
Efficiency Standards for Certain Commercial and Industrial Electric
Motors.
The Plan appears in both the online Agenda and the Federal
Register and includes the most important of DOE's significant
regulatory actions and a Statement of Regulatory and Deregulatory
Priorities.
Issued in Washington, DC, on September 17, 2010.

301. ENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDARDS FOR POOL HEATERS AND DIRECT HEATING
EQUIPMENT AND WATER HEATERS
Legal Authority: 42 USC 6295(e)
Abstract: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended,
establishes initial energy efficiency standard levels for many types of
major residential appliances and generally requires DOE to undertake
two subsequent rulemakings, at specified times, to determine whether
the existing standard for a covered product should be amended. This is
the initial review of the statutory standards for pool heaters and
direct heating equipment. This is the second review for water heaters.
