... Key output information includes: product classes, technology options, design options, product designs, life cycle costs, payback periods, national energy savings, net present values, conversion capital expenses and direct employment impacts. 2 The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 replaces ANOPR with a workshop.

... Key output data include: Life cycle costs, payback periods, industry cash flow, sub-group cash flow, direct employment impacts, competitive impacts, cumulative regulatory burden, utility impacts, national employment impacts, emission estimates, national energy savings and net present values. Based on DOE/EERE management's consideration of the outputs, management decides on the "proposed rule," (i.e., proposed standard level and effective date)

... The statute requires disclosure of annual operating costs and energy consumption. The label must also include a range of comparability for the covered products listed below: • Refrigerators and freezers • Dishwashers • Clothes washers • Water heaters • Furnaces and boilers • Central air conditioners and central air conditioning heat pumps 30
