Request for Information (RFI); request for comment regarding DOE's plan to expand and revise its existing energy efficiency enforcement regulations for certain consumer products and commercial and industrial equipment covered under the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975, as amended (EPCA or the “Act”). These regulations provide for manufacturer submission of compliance statements and certification reports to DOE, maintenance of compliance records by manufacturers, and the availability of enforcement actions for improper certification or upon a determination of noncompliance. To facilitate this process and to allow interested parties to provide suggestions, comments, and information, DOE is publishing this request for information.

On December 30,2009, Congressman Tim Holden wrote to the Office of Inspector General regarding alleged procurement irregularities concerning the Gilberton Coal-to-Clean Fuels Project. The letter was the culmination of a meeting and several telephonic discussions on this subject which Congressman Holden's staff initiated. Participation included congressional staff, senior representatives of WMPI PTY., LLC. (WMPI) - the lead entity in the Gilberton Project - and, the Office of Inspector General. In summary, as related in Congressman Holden's letter, WMPI claimed that a March 28,2008, meeting between Department of Energy officials and a Washington lobbying firm representing Sasol Synfuels International (Proprietary) Limited (Sasol) was the impetus for effectively terminating the Gilberton Project through the reprogramming of the Department's $100 million contribution to the Project. The implication was that the Department used the March meeting to directly or indirectly encourage Sasol to withdraw its support for Gilberton. Sasol was a key participant in the Project proposal, providing technology which, we were told, was essential to its success. The respective roles of the parties were outlined in a 2005 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between WMPI and Sasol.
