DOE Publishes a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Public Meeting and Request for Comment Pertaining to Test Procedures for Consumer Boilers 

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has published a Federal Register notice proposing to amend the test procedures for consumer boilers to incorporate by reference the latest version of the industry standards currently referenced in the Federal test procedure.
