Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for General Service Lamps

The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended ("EPCA"), prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial equipment, including general service lamps ("GSLs"). EPCA also requires the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") to periodically determine whether more stringent standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified and would result in significant energy savings. In this final rule, DOE is adopting amended energy conservation standards for GSLs. DOE has determined that the amended energy conservation standards for these products would result in significant conservation of energy and are technologically feasible and economically justified.

The effective date of this rule is 3 July 2024. Compliance with the amended standards established for GSLs in this final rule is required on and after 25 July 2028. The incorporation by reference of certain material listed in this rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register on 3 July 2024. The incorporation by reference of certain other material listed in this rule was approved by the Director of the Federal Register as of 30 September 2022.
