Amends section 322(a) by removing paragraph (14) and redesignating paragraphs (15) through (20) as paragraphs (14) through (19), respectively.
Amends paragraph (6)(B) by replacing a parenthetical list of paragraph numbers: strikes "(15), (16), (17), and (20)" and inserts "(14), (15), (16), and (19)".
Multiple conforming amendments to cross-references and subclauses: updates a cross-reference in subsection (a)(2)(C)(i) (replacing "322(a)(19)" with "322(a)(18)"), replaces a parenthetical paragraph list in subsection (b)(1)(B) with "(19)", revises language in subsection (c) (changing references from "(15) or (17)" to "(14) or (16)"), and makes changes in subsection (a)(2)(D) including striking clause (ii), redesignating clause (iii) as clause (ii), and simplifying subclause (II) of that clause by removing certain items and adjusting wording to "complete".
Amends section 325 by striking subsection (i) and inserting a reserved subsection, and by striking paragraph (4) of subsection (l). Also amends subsection 325(n)(1) by striking "(11), and in paragraphs (13) and (14)" and inserting "(11) and (13)".
Amends section 323(b) by striking paragraph (6) and redesignating paragraphs (7) through (18) as paragraphs (6) through (17), respectively.
Amends section 327 by revising subsection (b): replaces the matter in paragraph (1)(B) (the matter preceding clause (i) through the end of clause (ii)) with "2007;", strikes specified text in paragraph (4), and strikes specified text in subsection (c)(1).
Amends section 334 by striking specified language in the second sentence (removes the indicated portion of that sentence).
Rewrites parts of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act that define and regulate “general service lamps.” It updates statutory cross-references and standard-setting language, removes or renumbers certain statutory paragraphs, and cancels three Department of Energy rules that implemented requirements for general service lamps. The changes are technical edits to existing statute and regulatory authority; they do not create new funding or set new energy-efficiency performance standards in the text provided.
Amend Section 322(a) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act by striking paragraph (14) and redesignating paragraphs (15) through (20) as paragraphs (14) through (19), respectively.
Make a conforming amendment to Section 321(6)(B) by striking "(15), (16), (17), and (20)" and inserting "(14), (15), (16), and (19)".
Amend Section 324 of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act with multiple conforming changes: (i) in subsection (a)(2)(C)(i) replace the reference "322(a)(19)" with "322(a)(18)"; (ii) in subsection (b)(1)(B) replace the listed paragraphs with "(19)"; and (iii) in subsection (c) make specified paragraph-number substitutions (including changes in paragraphs (7) and (8) to update cross-references).
Amend Section 325(n)(1) by striking the text "(11), and in paragraphs (13) and (14)" and inserting "(11) and (13)".
Amend Section 325 by striking subsection (i) and inserting the text "(i) Reserved; and" and by striking paragraph (4) in subsection (l).
Who is affected and how:
Manufacturers and importers of general service lamps: Most directly affected. Changes to statutory definitions and the cancellation of DOE rules can alter which products fall under federal regulation, change compliance obligations, and require revisions to product design, labeling, and certification practices.
Retailers and distributors: May need to change stocking, sales practices, and product disclosures if coverage of particular lamp types shifts or if regulatory labeling requirements change.
Consumers and American households: Potential indirect effects include changed availability of certain lamp types, possible changes in product choices (fewer or more options), and long-run impacts on energy consumption if federal efficiency rules are delayed or altered.
Department of Energy and federal agencies: DOE must update its regulatory program, rescind or replace guidance based on the revoked rules, and may need to initiate new rulemaking or guidance consistent with the revised statute.
Utilities and energy-efficiency program administrators: Programs that rely on federal definitions (for rebate or efficiency qualification) may need to update eligibility lists, program documentation, and projected energy savings estimates.
Practical outcomes and risks:
Short-term regulatory uncertainty for industry and enforcement agencies until DOE issues conforming guidance or new rulemakings.
Potential delay or rollback of previously anticipated energy-efficiency obligations for certain lamp types, which could reduce near-term federal-driven energy savings.
No new federal spending or authorization is created by this single-section change; administrative costs to adapt could fall to DOE and regulated businesses.
Depending on implementation, affected stakeholders could pursue administrative or judicial challenges if they dispute the scope or effect of rescinded rules.
