Providing for congressional disapproval under chapter 8 of title 5, United States Code, of the rule submitted by the Department of Energy relating to the "Energy Conservation Program: Test Procedure for Consumer Water Heaters and Residential-Duty Commercial Water Heaters".
HJRES 91 is a resolution to block a Department of Energy rule that established new testing procedures for residential water heaters under the Energy Conservation Program. If approved, it would prevent the rule from taking effect, meaning water heater manufacturers would not need to comply with the updated testing standards. This directly affects the Department of Energy and manufacturers who would have been required to follow the rule, which was published in the Federal Register on June 21, 2023.
