The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended ("EPCA"), prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including dishwashers. In this direct final rule, the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") is adopting amended energy conservation standards for dishwashers. DOE has determined that the amended energy conservation standards for these products would result in significant conservation of energy and are technologically feasible and economically justified.The effective date of this rule is 22 August 2024. If adverse comments are received by 12 August 2024 and DOE determines that such comments may provide a reasonable basis for withdrawal of the direct final rule under 42 U.S.C. 6295(o), a timely withdrawal of this rule will be published in the Federal Register. The incorporation by reference of certain material listed in this rule was approved by the Director as of 17 February 2023. If no such adverse comments are received, compliance with the amended standards established for dishwashers in this direct final rule is required on and after 23 April 2027. Comments regarding the likely competitive impact of the standards contained in this direct final rule should be sent to the Department of Justice contact listed in the ADDRESSES section on or before 24 May 2024.Title 10 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 430This direct final rule and the notice of proposed rulemaking notified as G/TBT/N/USA/945/Rev.1 are identified by Docket Number EERE-2019-BT-STD-0039.
