内容概述: 修订的能源政策与节约法案1975（EPCA），规定了各类消费品及某些商业和工业设备能源节约标准，包括商用热水器、热水锅炉和不用火加热的热水储罐（以下称为“商用热水（CWH）设备）。EPCA还要求每6年，美国能源部(DOE)必须确定更严格的修订标准是否技术上可行、经济上合理，并且能够节约大量能源。在本措施中，能源部（DOE）暂时认为有明确充分的证据支持法规提案的某些类别设备更严格的标准。DOE在本措施中未考虑商用燃油储水式热水器更严格的标准，该类设备的标准最近已经修订。因此，DOE提出某些商用热水设备修订的节能标准，还宣布召开听证会以便接收关于标准提案的意见以及相关分析和结论。

Description of content: 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 commercial water heaters, hot water supply boilers, and unfired hot water storage tanks (hereinafter referred to as "commercial water heating (CWH) equipment"). EPCA also requires that every 6 years, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) must determine whether more-stringent, amended standards would be technologically feasible and economically justified, and would save a significant amount of energy. In this action, DOE has tentatively concluded that there is clear and convincing evidence to support more-stringent standards for several classes of the equipment that are the subject of this rulemaking. DOE did not consider more-stringent standards in this action for commercial oil-fired storage water heaters, whose standards were recently amended. Therefore, DOE proposes amended energy conservation standards for certain commercial water heating equipment, and also announces a public meeting to receive comment on these proposed standards and associated analyses and results.
