DOE announced it would consider whether to revise its energy conservation standards for consumer furnace fans, as adopted under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA). Noting its current policy “to reduce regulatory burden wherever possible,” DOE asked whether these energy standards “continue to be economically justified in light of DOE's new policy supporting energy and water abundance, allowing Americans to produce and consume as much energy and water as they desire.” It also claimed that, since consumer furnace fans are not included in 42 U.S.C. 6292, they appear not to be subject to EPCA's anti-backsliding restriction.
