    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted a request for extending the information collection requirement related to Clay Ceramics Manufacturing under the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). This request is pending review and approval by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and is part of the compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. Public comments are invited until March 31, 2025. The proposed extension seeks to address the collection information needs for manufacturing facilities producing pressed floor tile, wall tile, or sanitaryware.

    Simple Explanation

    The EPA wants to keep collecting information about companies that make certain types of tiles and bathroom items, to make sure they follow clean air rules. They are checking if keeping track of this is a good idea and want people to share their thoughts.

  • 2020-28956 — Energy Conservation Program for Appliance Standards: Energy Conservation Standards for Residential Furnaces and Commercial Water Heaters

    Type:Rule
    Citation:86 FR 4776
    Reading Time:about 3 hours

    The Department of Energy (DOE) has announced a final interpretive rule regarding energy conservation standards for products like residential furnaces and commercial water heaters. The rule states that non-condensing technology and its associated venting is considered a "feature" that must be preserved under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA). This decision comes after public comments and aims to prevent eliminating this technology through energy-saving regulations. This interpretation may limit potential energy savings but allows consumers more choices and prevents unnecessary building modifications. The DOE also withdrew previous proposals on energy conservation standards that were inconsistent with this interpretation.

    Simple Explanation

    The Energy Department says that a certain way of making furnaces and water heaters, called non-condensing, is special and shouldn't be changed by new energy rules. This means people can still choose these types even though they might not save as much energy.
