Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Clothes Washers and Clothes Dryers

The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") is extending the public comment period for the notice of proposed rulemaking ("NOPR") which DOE proposes to establish separate product classes for top- loading residential clothes washers and consumer clothes dryers that offer cycle times for a normal cycle of less than 30 minutes, and for front-loading residential clothes washers that offer cycle times for a normal cycle of less than 45 minutes. DOE published the NOPR in the Federal Register on 13 August 2020, establishing a public comment period that ends on 14 September 2020. In this document, DOE is extending the comment period to 13 October 2020 and announcing a public hearing on 30 September 2020.
