Description:  The Energy Policy and Conservation Act , as amended  ("EPCA"), prescribes energy 
conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial 
equipment, including dedicated purpose pool pump motors . When DOE is considering adopting 
energy conservation standards, EPCA requires that th e standards be designed to achieve the 
maximum improvement in energy efficiency, which DOE determines is technologically feasible and 
economically justified. In this final rule, DOE is adopting amended energy conservation standards 
for dedicated purpose po ol pump motors. It has determined that the new energy conservation 
standards for these products would result in significant conservation of energy, and are 
technologically feasible and economically justified.  
The effective date of this rule is 27 November 2023. Compliance with the new standards established 
for dedicated purpose pool pump motors with motor total horsepower <0.5 THP in this final rule is 
required on and after 29 September 2025. Compliance with the new standards established for 
dedicated purpo se pool pump motors with motor total horsepower >=0.5 THP and <1.15 THP in this 
final rule is required on and after 28 September 2027. Finally, compliance with the new standards 
established for dedicated purpose pool pump motors with motor total horsepower  >=1.15 THP and 
<=5 THP in this final rule is required on and after 29 September 2025. The incorporation of refence 
of certain material listed in this rule is approved by the Director of the Federal Register on 27 
November 2023.
