Draft Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine "On Amendments to Certain Resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine": The draft Resolution amends the current regulations of Ukraine on the requirements of ecodesign for energy-consuming products, small, medium and large power transformers.
The main purpose of the draft Resolution is to regulate ecodesign requirements for energy consumer products, small, medium and large power transformers. The adoption of the Resolution regulates the legal opportunities of energy producers, which facilitates the business environment in Ukraine and allows equal competitive opportunities among producers of energy efficient products, increases the requirements for technical staff. |

Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedure for Automatic Commercial Ice Makers: Notice of proposed rulemaking and request for comment - The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") proposes to amend the test procedure for automatic commercial ice makers ("ACIMs"; "ice makers") to update incorporated references to the latest version of the industry standards; establish relative humidity and water hardness
test conditions; provide additional detail regarding certain test conditions, settings, setup requirements, and calculations; include a voluntary measurement of potable water use; clarify certification and reporting requirements; and add enforcement provisions. This notice of proposed rulemaking ("NOPR") also proposes to provide additional detail to the DOE test procedure to improve the representativeness and repeatability of the current ACIM test procedure. DOE is seeking comment from interested parties on the proposal. (...) |

Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedures for General Service Fluorescent Lamps, Incandescent Reflector Lamps, and General Service Incandescent Lamps: Notice of proposed rulemaking and request for comment - The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") proposes to amend the test procedures for general service fluorescent lamps ("GSFLs"), incandescent reflector lamps ("IRLs"), and general service incandescent lamps ("GSILs") to update to the latest versions of the referenced industry test standards and provide cites to specific sections of these standards; to clarify definitions, test conditions and methods, and measurement procedures; to clarify test frequency and inclusion of cathode power in measurements for GSFLs; to provide a test method for measuring color rendering index ("CRI") of GSILs and IRLs and for measuring lifetime of IRLs; to allow manufacturers to make voluntary (optional) representations of GSFLs at high frequency settings; to revise the sampling requirements; and to align sampling and certification requirements with proposed test procedure terminology and with the Federal Trade Commission's labeling program. DOE is seeking comment from interested parties on the proposal.

Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedures for Residential and Commercial Clothes Washers: Notice of proposed rulemaking, request for comment, and announcement of webinar - The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") proposes to amend the test procedures for residential and commercial clothes washers to specify test conditions, instrument specifications, and test settings; address large clothes container capacities; add product-specific enforcement provisions; delete obsolete provisions; and consolidate all test cloth-related provisions and codify additional test cloth material verification procedures used by industry. DOE also proposes to create a new test procedure for residential and commercial clothes washers with additional modifications for certain test conditions, measurement of average cycle time, required test cycles, tested load sizes, semi- automatic clothes washer provisions, new performance metrics, and updated usage factors. The proposed new test procedure would be used for the evaluation and issuance of updated efficiency standards, as well as to determine compliance with the updated standards. As part of this proposal, DOE is announcing a webinar to collect comments and data on this proposal. DOE is seeking comment from interested parties on the proposal.

Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedure for Electric Motors: Notice of proposed rulemaking and request for comment - The U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'') proposes to amend the existing scope of the DOE test procedures consistent with related industry changes for nomenclature and test procedure developments (i.e., for air-over electric motors, submersible electric motors, electric motors greater than 500 horsepower, electric motors considered small, inverter-only electric motors, and synchronous electric motors); add test procedures, metric, and supporting definitions for additional electric motors covered under the proposed scope; and update references to industry standards to reference current versions. Furthermore, DOE proposes to adopt industry provisions related to the prescribed test conditions to further ensure the comparability of test. In addition, DOE proposes to update certain testing instructions to reduce manufacturer burden. (...)

Improvements for Heavy-Duty Engine and Vehicle Test Procedures, and Other Technical Amendments: Notice of proposed rulemaking - This notice of proposed rulemaking includes corrections, clarifications, additional flexibilities, and adjustment factors to improve the Greenhouse gas Emissions Model (GEM) compliance tool for heavy-duty vehicles while more closely matching the outputs produced by the original GEM version 3.0 that was used to establish the CO2 standards for Model Years 2021 and later in the 2016 Heavy-duty Phase 2 final rule. This document supplements the proposed rule published on May 12, 2020, which included a larger set of proposed revisions to modify and improve GEM. Most of the proposed revisions from that notice of proposed rulemaking are addressed in a final rulemaking published elsewhere in the Final Rules section of this issue of the Federal Register. Given the nature of this proposal, there will be neither significant environmental impacts nor significant economic impacts for any sector. If requested on or before 6 July 2021, the EPA will host an online public hearing at 10 a.m. Eastern Standard Time on 14 July 2021.

Energy Conservation Program: Definition of Showerhead: Notice of proposed rulemaking and announcement of public meeting
In this notice of proposed rulemaking ("NOPR"), the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") proposes to revise the current definition of "showerhead" adopted in the 16 December 2020 final rule ("December 2020 Final Rule") by reinstating the prior definition of "showerhead." This reinstatement of the prior definition is consistent with the purposes of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act ("EPCA") . Further, DOE has tentatively determined that, in reinstating the prior definition of "showerhead," all showerheads within a product containing multiple showerheads will be considered part of a single showerhead for determining compliance with the 2.5 gallons per minute ("gpm") standard.
