CFA and Groups Submit Joint Letter to Department of Energy Regarding Certification Requirements, Labeling Requirements, and Enforcement Provisions for Certain Consumer Products and Commercial Equipment

Appliance Standards Awareness Project (ASAP), the Consumer Federation of America (CFA), the National Consumer Law Center (NCLC) on behalf of its low-income clients, the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), and the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) submitted a joint letter on the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) for Certification Requirements, Labeling Requirements, and Enforcement Provisions for Certain Consumer Products and Commercial Equipment.  The groups are generally supportive of the NOPR, which proposes new and amended reporting requirements for twenty categories of regulated products1. The proposed reporting requirements will ensure that Department of Energy has relevant information to determine whether certified models comply with the corresponding energy efficiency standard.
