Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Dishwashers

The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") published a direct final rule to establish new energy conservation standards for dishwashers in the Federal Register on April 24, 2024. DOE has determined that the comments received in response to the direct final rule do not provide a reasonable basis for withdrawing the direct final rule. Therefore, DOE provides this document confirming the effective and compliance dates of those standards. This document also clarifies the introductory notes to the appendices for the dishwasher test procedure to conform with the amended standards promulgated by direct final rule published on April 24, 2024. This document also corrects an error in the amended regulatory text as it appeared in the direct final rule published on April 24, 2024.
