Landrieu Chair The Honorable Lisa Murkowski Ranking Member Committee on Energy and Natural Resources United States Senate The Honorable Fred Upton Chairman The Honorable Henry Waxman Ranking Member Committee on Energy and Commerce House of Representatives Subject: Department of Energy: Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for External Power Supplies Pursuant to section 801 (a)(2)(A) of title 5, United States Code, this is our report on a major rule promulgated by the Department of Energy (Energy) entitled Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for External Power Supplies (RIN: 1904-AB57). We received the rule on February 10, 2014. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on February 10, 2014, with an effective date of April 11, 2014. 79 Fed. Reg. 7846. The final rule, pursuant to the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), as amended, amends the energy conservation standards that currently apply to certain external power supplies (EPS) and establishes new energy conservation standards for other external power supplies that are currently not required to meet such standards. Through its analysis, Energy has determined that these changes satisfy EPCA's requirements that any new and amended energy conservation standards for these products result in the significant conservation of energy and be both technologically feasible and economically justified. Compliance with the new and amended standards established for EPSs in the final rule is February 10, 2016. The incorporation by reference of a certain publication listed in this rule will be approved by the Director of the Federal Register on April 11, 2014. Enclosed is our assessment of Energy's compliance with the procedural steps required by section 801(a)(1)(B)(i) through (iv) of title 5 with respect to the rule. Our review of the procedural steps taken indicates that Energy complied with the applicable requirements. GAO-1 4-391 R
