Mr. Chairman and Members of the Subcommittee:

     We welcome the opportunity to be here today to discuss our

recent report on the Department of Energy's (DOE's) efforts to

develop appliance energy efficiency standards. 1/  Our report

primarily focuses on the basis for DOE's April 2, 1982, proposal

to establish no standards for eight appliances, but also discusses

DOE's June 1980 appliance standards proposal and subsequent re-

visions to it, the implications a final no standards decision has

for existing and future State appliance standards, and aspects of

the Federal appliance labeling program.  We are furnishing a copy

of our report for the record.

  DOE, GAO/EMD-82-78, May 14, 1982.
