Executive Order 13221 of July 31, 2001
Energy Efficient Standby Power Devices
By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, including the National Energy Conservation
Policy Act (Public Law 95-619, 92 Stat. 3206, 42 U.S.C.
8252 et seq.), as amended by the Energy Policy Act of
1992 (EPACT) (Public Law 102-486, 106 Stat. 2776), and
section 301 of title 3, United States Code, and in
order to further encourage energy conservation by the
Federal Government, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Energy Efficient Standby Power Devices. Each
agency, when it purchases commercially available, off-
the-shelf products that use external standby power
devices, or that contain an internal standby power
function, shall purchase products that use no more than
one watt in their standby power consuming mode. If such
products are not available, agencies shall purchase
products with the lowest standby power wattage while in
their standby power consuming mode. Agencies shall
adhere to these requirements, when life-cycle cost-
effective and practicable and where the relevant
product's utility and performance are not compromised
as a result. By December 31, 2001, and on an annual
basis thereafter, the Department of Energy, in
consultation with the Department of Defense and the
General Services Administration, shall compile a
preliminary list of products to be subject to these
requirements. The Department of Energy shall finalize
the list and may remove products deemed inappropriate
for listing.
Sec. 2. Independent Agencies. Independent agencies are
encouraged to comply with the provisions of this order.
Sec. 3. Definition. ``Agency'' means an executive
agency as defined in 5 U.S.C. 105. For the purpose of
this order, military departments, as defined in 5
U.S.C. 102, are covered by the Department of Defense.
