The policy statement concerning the secure base amount and AIRAs maintains...

The Energy Policy and Conservation Act (EPCA) prescribes energy conservation standards for various consumer products and commercial and industrial equipment. Microwave ovens are covered products under EPCA, although there are no existing microwave oven standards. EPCA requires the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to determine whether amended, more stringent, standards are technologically feasible and economically justified, and would save a significant amount of energy. Additionally, the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 (EISA 2007) amended EPCA to require any final rule adopted after July 1, 2010 establishing or revising energy conservation standards for covered products, including microwave ovens, to address standby mode and off mode energy use. On October 17, 2008, DOE issu...

This report summarizes federal energy legislation enacted into law from January 1 through Dec 31, 2008, specifically the Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008. After a relatively long period in which federal energy law was enforced without major amendment, more recent shifts in the energy policy arena led to the enactment of significant energy legislation in 2005, 2007 and most recently in late 2008. The Energy Improvement and Extension Act of 2008 (Act) was ultimately included as part of the contentiously debated Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 which was signed into law by President Bush on Oct 3, 2008, in response to disruptions in the economy and financial system. The Act provides an eight year extension, through Dec 31, 2016, of the 30% individual tax credit for ...
