FR Abstract
In this final rule, the U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'') is adopting amendments to the test procedures for general service fluorescent lamps (``GSFLs''), incandescent reflector lamps (``IRLs''), and general service incandescent lamps (``GSILs'') to update references to industry test standards and provide citations to specific sections of these standards; amend definitions; reference specific sections within industry test standards for further clarity; provide test methods for measuring coloring rendering index (``CRI'') for incandescent lamps and measuring lifetime of IRLs; clarify test frequency and inclusion of cathode power in measurements for GSFLs; decrease the sample size and specify all metrics for all lamps be measured from the same sample; and align terminology across relevant sections of the Code of Federal Regulations relating to GSFLs, IRLs and GSILs.
