DOE proposed withdrawing its prior determination that compressors qualify as covered equipment under Part A-1 of Title III of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA). DOE asserted that this proposed withdrawal is consistent with a policy to classify industrial equipment as covered equipment “only if energy conservation standards will significantly increase the energy resources of the nation, without compromising the performance of industrial products.” DOE tentatively determined that the withdrawal of compressors as covered equipment corresponds to “the Secretary's position that regulatory burdens should be reduced wherever possible.”
