Appliance Standards and Rulemaking Federal Advisory Committee:
Notice of Open Meetings for the Dedicated Purpose Pool Pumps (DPPP)
Working Group To Negotiate a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) for
Energy Conservation Standards
AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of
Energy.
[[Page 10153]]
ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; public meetings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Energy (DOE) announces public meetings and
webinars for the DPPP Working Group. The Federal Advisory Committee Act
requires that agencies publish notice of an advisory committee meeting
in the Federal Register.
On July 30, 2015, ASRAC met and unanimously passed the
recommendation to form a dedicated purpose pool pumps (DPPP) working
group to meet and discuss and, if possible, reach consensus on proposed
Federal rules that would apply to this equipment. The ASRAC Charter
allowed for 3 months of working group meetings to establish the scope,
metric, definitions, and test procedure for dedicated purpose pool
pumps and decide on a path forward at that time. The working group met
this requirement and now more time is required to discuss potential
energy conservation standards for this equipment. On January 20, 2016,
ASRAC met and recommended that the DPPP Working Group continue its work
to develop and recommend potential energy conservation standards for
this equipment. This notice announces the next series of meetings for
this working group.
DATES: See SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section for meeting dates.
ADDRESSES: The meetings will be held at U.S. Department of Energy,
Forrestal Building, 1000 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20585
