The House Committee on Energy and Commerce reported favorably on H.R. 5465, but recommended amendments. The legislation recognizes the impact of appliances on total energy use in the residential sector and the need for efficiency standards for major appliances. The bill specifies 11 consumer products to meet DOE-imposed performance standards. The report includes a discussion of the procedures for testing efficiency, the impact of efficiency standards, and criteria for amending standards. Specific sections deal with manufacturer requirements and compliance. The law also preempts existing state laws and introduces new provisions relating to state building codes.
