The following schedule includes completed and estimated dates for U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) rulemakings. Dates for prospective events are in most cases based on published DOE schedules or statutory requirements. DOE is required to review each standard at least once every six years and issue either a notice that no revision is needed or a notice of proposed rulemaking and, two years later, a final rule. We note below each product any legal deadlines that DOE has missed as well as any dates that are ASAP estimates. Items in this shade have been completed. The estimated or required date for items in this shade has passed without DOE completing the item. Items not shaded are expected on the date indicated.
