Washington, DC 20548 B-328780 February 8, 2017 The Honorable Lisa Murkowski Chairman The Honorable Maria Cantwell Ranking Member Committee on Energy and Natural Resources United States Senate The Honorable Greg Walden 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 Fans 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 Fans (RIN: 1904- AD28). We received the rule on January 24, 2017. It was published in the Federal Register as a final rule on January 19, 2017, with an effective date of March 20, 2017. 82 Fed. Reg. 6826. The final rule amends the energy conservation standards for ceiling fans. DOE determined that the amended energy conservation standards for ceiling fans would result in significant conservation of energy and are technologically feasible and economically justified. The amended standards are expressed for each product class as the minimum allowable efficiency in terms of cubic feet per minute per watt, as a function of ceiling fan diameter in inches. These standards would apply to ceiling fans manufactured in, or imported into, the United States on and after January 21, 2020. 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 7-391 R
