    The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to withdraw a previous decision to classify certain miscellaneous gas products, like decorative hearths and outdoor heaters, as covered consumer products under energy conservation regulations. This decision is part of the DOE's efforts to comply with the Executive Order "Unleashing American Energy," which aims to ensure that energy regulations are practical and do not overly limit consumer choice. The DOE's proposal suggests that these gas products do not have enough in common functionally to be treated as the same type of product for regulatory purposes. Public comments on this proposal are being accepted until April 14, 2025, through various submission methods, including the Federal eRulemaking Portal.
