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), 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 Governmentwide compilation
of upcoming and ongoing regulatory activity taking place over the next
12 months, 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 spring 2010 agenda can be accessed
online by going to: www.reginfo.gov. Agenda entries reflect the
status of activities as of approximately April 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. DOE currently has two
rulemakings that require regulatory flexibility analyses: Energy
Efficiency Standards for Pool Heaters and Direct Heating Equipment
and Water Heaters, and Test Procedures for Walk-in Coolers and
Walk-in Freezers.
Issued in Washington, DC, on March 15, 2010.

118. 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.
