TITLE: Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for General Service 
Incandescent Lamps  
AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy  
ACTION: Final determination  
SUMMARY: The Energy Policy and Conservation Act, as amended ("EPCA"), directs DOE to initiate a 
rulemaking for gen eral service lamps ("GSLs") that, among other requirements, determines whether 
standards in effect for general service incandescent lamps ("GSILs," a subset of GSLs) should be 
amended. On 5 September 2019, the U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") published a notice of 
proposed determination ("NOPD") in which DOE initially determined that energy conservation 
standards for GSILs do not need to be amended. In this final determination, DOE responds to 
comments received on the September 2019 GSIL NOPD and does not adopt amended energy 
conservation standards for GSILs. DOE has determined that amended energy conservation standards 
for GSILs would not be economically justified.  
The docket for this rulemaking, which includes Federal Registernotices, public meeting atten dee lists 
and transcripts, comments, and other supporting documents/materials, is available for review from 
Regulations.gov at https://www.regulations.gov/docket?D=EERE -2019-BT-STD-0022. 
The effective date of this rule is 27 December 2019.
