The Honorable Richard L. Ottinger, Chairman
Subcommittee on Energy Conservation and Power
Committee on Energy and Commerce
House of Representatives

Dear Mr. Chairman:


Subject:


Information on the Department of Energy's analyses
to determine the need for appliance efficiency
standards (EMD-82-33)


     On December 1, 1981, your office asked that we provide the
Subcommittee the following information on Department of Energy
(DOE) efforts to develop appliance efficiency standards: (1) an
historical overview of the three separate DOE analyses performed
to determine the need for appliance efficiency standards, (2) an
identification of the assumptions used in each of the analyses,
and (3) the conclusions reached in each analysis. The enclosure
to this letter provides this information.

     This report supplements information provided you in our
previous report Preliminary Information on Appliance Energy
Labeling and Appliance Efficiency Standards (EMD-81-122,
July 20, 1981). Since we have not completed an overall eval-
uation of DOE's efforts to develop appliance energy efficiency
standards, we have no recommendations to make at this time.
We have, however, included some overall observations in the
enclosure with respect to the DOE analyses.


     We plan to make no further distribution of this
until 30 days from the date of the report unless you
announce its contents earlier. At that time we will
available to others upon request.
