DOE Publishes a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, Public Meeting and Request for Comment Pertaining to Test Procedures for Commercial and Industrial Pumps 

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has published a Federal Register notice proposing to amend the test procedure for commercial and industrial pumps (pumps) to harmonize with updated industry standards, to expand the scope of clean water pumps covered by this test procedure, and to revise calculation methods for pumps sold with motors and controls to better represent field energy use.
