Description:  The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended (" EPCA"), prescribes energy 
conservation standards for various consumer products and certain commercial and industrial 
equipment, inc luding circulator pumps . EPCA also requires the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") 
to periodically determine whether more -stringent, standards would be technologically feasible and 
economically justified, and would result in significant energy savings. In this final rule, DOE is 
adopting new energy conservation standards for circulator pumps. It has determined that the energy

  conservation standards for this equipment would result in significant conservation of energy, and 
are technologically feasible and economically justified.  
The effective date of this rule is 5 August 2024. Compliance with the standards established for 
circulator pumps in this final rule is required on and after 22 May 2028.
