Washington, DC 20548 B-327703 February 1, 2016 The Honorable Lisa Murkowski Chairman The Honorable Maria Cantwell Ranking Member Committee on Energy and Natural Resources United States Senate The Honorable Fred Upton Chairman The Honorable Frank Pallone, Jr. Ranking Member Committee on Energy and Commerce House of Representatives Subject: Department of Energy: Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Ceiling Fan Light Kits 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 (DOE) entitled Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Ceiling Fan Light Kits (RIN: 1904-AC87). We received the rule on January 12, 2016. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on January 6, 2016. 81 Fed. Reg. 580. The final rule puts into place more stringent energy conservation standards for ceiling light fan kits. The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975, as amended, (EPCA) prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including ceiling fan light kits. EPCA also requires DOE to periodically determine whether more stringent standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified and would save a significant amount of energy. DOE determined that the amended energy conservation standards for these products would result in significant conservation of energy and are technologically feasible and economically justified. Enclosed is our assessment of DOE'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 DOE complied with the applicable requirements. GAO-1 6-361 R
