DOE alleged in a Notice of Proposed Civil Penalty that Universal Lighting Technologies, Inc. manufactured and distributed noncompliant fluorescent lamp ballasts in the U.S.  Federal law subjects manufacturers and private labelers to civil penalties if those parties distribute in the U.S. products that do not meet applicable energy conservation standards.  This civil penalty notice advises the company of the potential penalties and DOE's administrative process, including the company's right to a hearing.
