  2. 5 Timeline: Need for Canada Harmonization Refrigerator Example Jan. 1, 2014 Proposed Start of Transition Energy Guide Label Using New DOE Test Procedure/Standard Sept. 15, 2014 New DOE Standard Effective Date Early Compliance Sept. 15, 2014 ENERGY STAR Effective Date ???? 2015 Canada Harmonizes No Early Compliance

  3. Systemic Issue: Washers, Dryers and Dishwashers Face Similar Challenge Issue: Canada and US Regulators Not Moving in Unison No longer working Opportunity: Harmonized Regulatory Development (DOE & NRCan)

  4. US Transition Label Complexity (Energy, Capacity, Cost of Electricity) 24 Cubic Feet 25 Cubic Feet 2014 Model Old Model Actually Same Capacity Actually 26% Less Energy

  5. Double Sided Tag Confusion in 2014 Double-Sided Tag on Model With Ice Maker New Standard Includes Ice Making Energy 514 Same Model Same Energy

  6. Impact: Increased Costs & Consumer Confusion Issue: Impact varies for each standard change Costs: Financial, human, economic, time, credibility

  7. Recommendation to Improve Harmonization Objective:Bi-national, Less Burdensome Regulatory Framework that Maintains a Vibrant North American Marketplace. • Immediately Allow Early Compliance in Canada to Align with ENERGY STAR and DOE Test Procedures/Standards. • Develop Transitional Label -- Harmonize with FTC. • Develop Single Test Procedure Development (Incorporate By Reference). • Implement One-for-One Rule More Strategically to Reduce Cumulative Regulatory Burden. • The intent was to “identify irritants to business that stem from federal regulatory requirements…to reduce the compliance burden on businesses…”1 1 Message from Minister of State (Small Business and Tourism) in Red Tape Reduction Commission Report
