Waxman Ranking Member Committee on Energy and Commerce House of Representatives Subject: Department of Energy. Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Residential Clothes Dryers and Room Air Conditioners 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 Residential Clothes Dryers and Room Air Conditioners (RIN: 1904-AA89). We received the rule on April 22, 2011. It was published in the Federal Register as a direct final rule on April 21, 2011. 76 Fed. Reg. 22,454. The direct final rule adopts amended energy conservation standards for residential clothes dryers and room air conditioners. A notice of proposed rulemaking that proposes identical energy efficiency standards is published elsewhere in the Federal Register. DOE states that if it receives adverse comment and determines that such comment may provide a reasonable basis for withdrawing the direct final rule, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and DOE will proceed with the proposed rule. 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- 11-618R
