EMD-82-78 1 (1982-05-14)

handle is hein.gao/gaobabdgh0001 and id is 1 raw text is: BY THE COMPTROLLER GENERAL Report To The Congress OF THE UNITED STATES Appliance Efficiency Standards: Issues Needing Resolution By DOE The National Energy Conservation Policy Act directs the Secretary of Energy to pre- scribe efficiency standards, or make a no standard determination, for each of 13 major household appliances. DOE began analyses in 1978 and proposed standards for eight appliances. DOE then revised the standards but did not publish them. Addi- tional work was done under the current administration resulting in an April 1982 proposal that no standards be established for appliances. GAO concluded that the analytical basis for the April 1982 proposal is questionable and a no standards decision may adversely affect energy conservation and utility load management efforts in many States. GAO pointed out the potential viability of propos- ing standards for certain appliances and indicated that the appliance labeling pro- gram for furnaces has limited potential. GAO recommends that the Secretary of Energy make no decision on the need for appliance efficiency standards until he con- siders and resolves the issues raised in this report. 118376 % 0' GAO/EMD-82-78 MAY 14, 1982
