We received the rule on November 6, 1997. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on September 24, 1997. 62 Fed. Reg. 50122. The Department of Energy is promulgating this rule to amend existing energy conservation standards for room air conditioners. It has determined that the revised standards will conserve a significant amount of energy, are technologically feasible, and are economically justified. The Department predicts that the revised standards will save 0.64 quad of energy through 2030, which it estimates is likely to result in a cumulative reduction of emissions of approximately 95,000 tons of nitrogen dioxide and 54 million tons of carbon dioxide. Enclosed is our assessment of the Department of Energy's compliance with the procedural steps required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with GAO/OGC-98-13
