For further information on the regulatory agenda in general, please contact: Diana L. Dean, Room 6E-078, Forrestal Building, 1000 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20585, (202) 586-7440. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Significant changes have been made to the manner and form of publication of the Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions (Agenda). Beginning with this edition of the Agenda, the Internet will be the basic means for disseminating the Unified Agenda in a format that offers users an enhanced ability to obtain information from the Agenda database. Publication in the Federal Register is mandated by the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 602) for only Agenda entries that are for rulemakings that require either a regulatory flexibility analysis or periodic review under section 610 of that act. DOE currently has one rulemaking for which a flexibility analysis was conducted. DOE's printed agenda consists of this entry and contains the information that is required to be published by the Regulatory Flexibility Act. DOE's entire semiannual regulatory agenda is published electronically and can be accessed online by going to: www.reginfo.gov. The agenda entries reflect the status of activities as of approximately September 30, 2007. For this edition of the DOE's regulatory agenda, the most important significant regulatory actions and a Statement of Regulatory Priorities are included in The Regulatory Plan, which appears in both the online Unified Agenda and in part II of this issue of the Federal Register. A draft of DOE's regulatory agenda has been transmitted to the Chief Counsel for Advocacy of the U.S. Small Business Administration for comment, if any, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 602(b). Issued in Washington, DC, on September 11, 2007. David R. Hill, General Counsel. Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy--Completed Actions ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regulation Sequence Title Identifier Number Number ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 310 Energy Efficiency Standards for Electric Distribution Transformers.................... 1904-AB08 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________________________________ Department of Energy (DOE) Completed Actions Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EE) _______________________________________________________________________ 310. ENERGY EFFICIENCY STANDARDS FOR ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTION TRANSFORMERS Legal Authority: 42 USC 6317(a)(2) Abstract: Prior to enactment of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPACT 2005), the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) did not establish energy efficiency standards for electric distribution transformers. EPCA directed DOE to determine whether standards for electric distribution transformers were warranted. However, as a result of amendments adopted in EPACT 2005, Public Law No. 109-58, section 135(c)(4), EPCA now contains standards for low voltage dry-type electric distribution transformers, but not other types of distribution transformers. This rulemaking will determine whether it is appropriate to establish standards for these other types of electric distribution transformers.
