Public Workshops and Hearings
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) seeks to provide opportunities for public input early in the rulemaking process. Interested parties are invited to comment on the selection of design options and to assist DOE in identifying analysis, data, and modeling needs for equipment standards and test procedures. Following is a list of workshops and hearings organized from newest to oldest, and divided by year.
