    This subpart sets forth the minimum efficiency levels for commercial 
equipment, contained in ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-1999, that the 
Department of Energy has adopted as national standards, effective in 
2003 or 2004 as specified in Sec. Sec.  431.701 through 431.704. On 
their effective dates, these levels will amend and replace some of the 
efficiency levels required for certain commercial equipment by Section 
342(a) of EPCA. The Department has not adopted the efficiency levels 
specified in ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1-1999 for products not identified 
in this subpart, and the levels specified in Section 342(a) of EPCA for 
those products will remain in force unless and until they are amended. 
The Department adopted the efficiency levels in this subpart pursuant to 
Section 342(a)(6) of EPCA, which addresses the establishment of national 
standards at minimum levels specified in amendments to ASHRAE/IES 
Standard 90.1, in place of the efficiency levels required in Section 
342(a) of EPCA.
