  • 2025-03464 — Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedures for Compressors
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 11465
    Reading Time:about 7 minutes

    The Department of Energy (DOE) is delaying the start date of a new rule about testing compressors until May 20, 2025, due to a Presidential order asking for a review of certain rules. This rule is meant to improve how the energy efficiency of compressors is measured by fixing errors and clarifying definitions. The DOE is also asking the public for comments about this delay and the potential impact it might have. Anyone interested can send their feedback through different methods like email or postal mail by March 28, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The Department of Energy is waiting a little longer to start a new rule that checks how well machines called compressors save energy. They're asking people to say what they think about the wait.

  • 2025-02852 — Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Consumer Gas-Fired Instantaneous Water Heaters
    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.

  • 2025-04474 — Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Walk-In Coolers and Walk-In Freezers
    Type:Rule
    Citation:90 FR 13054
    Reading Time:about 3 minutes

    The Department of Energy (DOE) is delaying the effective date of new energy conservation standards for walk-in coolers and freezers. Originally, these standards were set to take effect on March 21, 2025, but now the date is pushed to May 20, 2025, to allow more time for reviewing legal, factual, and policy concerns. This change is in line with a government-wide directive for examining rules more closely, although the final compliance dates remain unchanged: December 23, 2027, for non-display doors, and December 31, 2028, for refrigeration systems. The delay is classified as procedural, so public notice or a hearing were not legally necessary for its implementation.

    Simple Explanation

    The Energy Department is hitting the pause button on some new rules that would make big coolers and freezers, like the ones in supermarkets, save more energy. They moved the start date from March to May so they can take a closer look at how the rules will work, but everyone still has until the end of 2027 or 2028 to actually make changes.
