          The Honorable Jeff Bingaman
          Chairman
          The Honorable Lisa Murkowski
          Ranking Member
          Committee on Energy and Natural Resources
          United States Senate

          The Honorable Henry A. Waxman
          Chairman

          Subject: Department of Energy. Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation
                  Standards for Small Electric Motors

          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 Small Electric Motors
          (RIN: 1904-AB70). We received the rule on March 31, 2010. It was published in the
          Federal Register as a final rule on March 9, 2010, with a stated effective date of
          April 8, 2010. 75 Fed. Reg. 10,874.

          The final rule establishes energy conservation standards for small electric motors.
          DOE has determined that these standards will result in significant conservation of
          energy and are technologically feasible and economically justified.

          This final rule has a stated effective date of April 8, 2010. The Congressional Review
          Act requires a 60-day delay in the effective date of a major rule from the date of
          publication in the Federal Register or receipt by Congress, whichever is later.
          5 U.S.C. § 801(a)(3)(A). This rule was published in the Federal Register on March 9,
          2010, and received on March 31, 2010. 74 Fed. Reg. 10,874. Therefore, this final rule
          does not have the required 60-day delay in its effective date.
