Repeal of 13,000-Word Showerhead Rule
The President ordered the Secretary of Energy to publish a notice rescinding the Energy Conservation Program: Definition of Showerhead (86 Fed. Reg. 71797, Dec. 20, 2021), including the definition codified at 10 C.F.R. 430.2. The repeal cancels the roughly 13,000-word definition, is effective 30 days after the publication of the rescinding notice, and the order states notice-and-comment is unnecessary; the change is described as simplifying requirements and cutting regulatory red tape for manufacturers and regulators.
