    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 9951
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Department of Energy (DOE) is delaying the start date of new energy conservation standards for gas-fired instantaneous water heaters. Originally set to take effect on December 26, 2024, the new rules will now begin on March 21, 2025, allowing more time for review. This delay is in response to a presidential memorandum calling for a temporary halt on new regulations to evaluate any factual, legal, or policy concerns. The DOE is also inviting public comments on the implications of this delay and any issues it might raise.

    Simple Explanation

    The government's energy department is waiting a bit longer before changing how much energy gas water heaters should save, letting people share their thoughts about it first. This means that instead of starting in December, the new rules will start next March.

    The Department of Energy has decided to delay the effective date of new energy conservation standards for gas-fired instantaneous water heaters. Originally, the rule was set to be enforced on March 21, 2025, but it is now postponed to May 20, 2025. This delay aligns with a Presidential Memorandum that called for reviewing such rules. The compliance date for these standards, however, remains unchanged at December 26, 2029.

    Simple Explanation

    The government decided to wait a bit longer before starting new rules to save energy with certain water heaters, moving the start from March to May, but you still have to follow the new rules by the end of 2029. Some details about why they are waiting aren't really clear.
