Abstract

The Department of Energy (DOE) publishes a final rule to eliminate the subject regulations due to their non-applicability to operating DOE programs. In 1996, DOE consolidated legacy programs into the State Energy Program and determined all programming would be regulated through a different regulatory framework, leaving the regulations at this part without utility. Now, these regulations are a legacy of an ancestral program and remain in place despite decades without Congress funding the underlying statutory program. This final rule has no impact on stakeholders and further streamlines the State Energy Program by eliminating extraneous and derelict regulations, and does not directly reduce availability of financial assistance.
