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.
2026-17872, Rescission of Production Incentives for Cellulosic Biofuels
The Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation (formerly Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy) of the Department of Energy (DOE) is publishing a final rule to rescind the regulatory framework for production incentives for cellulosic biofuels, eliminating an inactive regulatory framework.

The Department of Energy is updating how it sets and reviews energy-saving rules for products like appliances and industrial equipment. These changes include clearer steps, new definitions, and economic checks to make sure energy savings really matter. If you make or sell these products, or just care about saving energy, you can share your thoughts by August 6, 2026, and join a free webinar on July 15 to learn more.
2026-12475, Application for Authorization To Transmit Electric Energy to a Foreign Country
The Department of Energy is making it easier and faster for companies to get permission to send electricity across U.S. borders. This new rule starts on July 22, 2026, and helps keep our electric supply safe while encouraging cross-border energy trade. If you’re involved in exporting electricity, get ready for a simpler application process with clear deadlines and fewer headaches.
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. This means minority businesses can keep applying for these loans a bit longer while the government reviews the rule carefully. The new delay pushes the rule’s start date to September 1, 2026, giving everyone more time to prepare and comment.
2026-10729, Zero-Based Regulating
The Department of Energy wants to add expiration dates to some of its rules to keep things fresh and efficient, following a new White House order. This means certain regulations will automatically end unless reviewed and renewed, helping save time and money. If you have thoughts, speak up by June 29, 2026, because your input could shape the future of energy rules!
