{"abstract":"The Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (EPCA), as amended, prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including direct heating equipment (DHE). EPCA also requires the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to periodically determine whether more-stringent, amended standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would save a significant amount of energy. In this document, DOE has tentatively determined that more stringent DHE standards would not be economically justified, and, thus, proposes not to amend its energy conservation standards for DHE.","action":"Notice of proposed determination (NOPD).","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY","name":"Energy Department","id":136,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/energy-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/136","parent_id":null,"slug":"energy-department"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2016/04/11/2016-08121.html","cfr_references":[{"chapter":null,"citation_url":null,"part":430,"title":10}],"citation":"81 FR 21276","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":"2016-06-10","correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"DOE will accept comments, data, and information regarding this NOPD no later than June 10, 2016.
