This rulemaking is related to the incandescent reflector lamps standard and test procedure.
DOE is undertaking this rulemaking to consider exclusion from coverage under energy conservation standards for R20 short lamps pursuant to the requirements of 42 U.S.C. 6291(30)(E). Under this section, in order to exclude a fluorescent or incandescent lamp, the Secretary must make the determination, by rule, that standards for the lamp ‘‘would not result in significant energy savings because such lamp is designed for special applications or has special characteristics not available in reasonably substitutable lamp types.’’(42 U.S.C. 6291(30)(E))
