On January 6, 2015, DOE published a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) proposing clarifications to the test procedures for fluorescent lamp ballasts. THE NOPR serves as the basis for this final rule.
In this final rule, DOE offers final clarification for energy conservation standards and test procedures for fluorescent lamp ballasts. DOE is modifying the organization of 10 CFR 430.32(m) to clarify the applicability of the standards and exemptions. DOE is also consolidating 10 CFR 430.32(m) by deleting standards that are obsolete. DOE is clarifying definitions relating to ballast luminous efficiency (BLE) standards. Finally, the rule clarifies test procedures.
