ER, BR, and Small Diameter Incandescent Reflector Lamps Public Meeting for Energy Conservation Standard Framework Document

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) held an informal public meeting on May 26, 2010, as a first step in the rulemaking process to consider energy conservation standards for elliptical reflector (ER), bulged reflector (BR), and small diameter incandescent reflector lamps. DOE issued a Framework Document on April 23, 2010 outlining the analytical approaches it intended to follow when conducting the energy conservation standard rulemaking. DOE held this meeting to seek input from interested parties on its proposals, methodologies, assumptions, and data sources.
