This page presents meeting materials and information on how to submit comments for the public meeting on energy conservation standards for small electric motors.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is considering potential standards for certain single-phase and polyphase small electric motors, which would achieve the maximum improvement in energy efficiency that is technologically feasible and economically justified, and would result in significant energy savings. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss and receive comments on the analyses performed to evaluate energy conservation standards for these motors, potential energy conservation standard levels, and other matters affecting the rulemaking.
