WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced the formation of a Regional Standards Enforcement Working Group, which will begin meeting this month with the goal of producing a satisfactory enforcement solution by Oct. 31.

The proposal would then be made available for public comment, meaning an enforcement plan is not likely to be finalized until 2015. This working group may address a broad range of issues related to the implementation and enforcement of the new standard.
