2026-19154, Energy Conservation Program: Energy Conservation Standards for Manufactured Housing
The Department of Energy’s 2022 energy-saving rules for manufactured homes are now on pause because a new law says only the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) can set these standards. HUD has one year from July 2026 to create new energy rules and must update them every three years. This means manufacturers and homebuyers should watch for HUD’s upcoming standards, which could affect costs and energy savings soon.

2026-11057, Rescinding Regulations for Loans for Minority Business Enterprises Seeking DOE Contracts and Assistance
The Department of Energy is delaying a rule that would stop loans for minority-owned businesses trying to get DOE contracts.

The new delay pushes the rule’s start date to September 1, 2026, giving everyone more time to prepare and comment.
2026-10727, Zero-Based Regulating
