The DOE recently issued its first official document in the current round of review of its energy-efficiency regulations for residential furnaces and boilers. The document, called an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANOPR), appeared in the Federal Register on July 29.
The DOE has scheduled a public meeting on Sept. 29 in Washington. The session is designed to allow the department opportunity to present its methodology and the results of its ANOPR analyses, as well as to answer questions and help participants prepare their written comments. GAMA, an association of appliance and equipment manufacturers, will be represented at the public meeting, along with several of its member companies.
