In a letter addressed to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm, Committee Chairman \u200bRoger Williams (R-TX) and other committee members express their worries about the\u2064 potential impact on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-admin-is-proposing-another-appliance-crackdown-ceiling-fans\/\" title=\"Biden Admin Plans New Ceiling Fan Regulations\">small business fan manufacturers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;It is important for agencies to examine small businesses interests\u2014which make up 99.9 percent\u200d of all businesses \u200bin the \u200cUnited States\u2014when passing any new rule. America&#8217;s small businesses deserve to have their voices heard and considered,&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The lawmakers argue that the proposed rule would force many small business fan manufacturers\u200b to redesign their products, potentially leading to the closure of 10%-30% of \u200dthese businesses. To address\u2062 their concerns, the letter includes a series of questions to the \u2062Department of\u200b Energy (DOE), seeking information on additional\u2062 costs, alternative solutions, impact calculations, and the potential for businesses to go out of\u200b business due to the \u200drule.<\/p>\n<p>The DOE&#8217;s proposed rule, which was introduced in\u200b June and recently concluded its public comment period, aims to make ceiling fans more energy efficient. The \u200cDOE estimates that this move could \u2062save households anywhere between $28 to $39 over the lifespan of a new fan.\u2062 However, the increased equipment costs are\u200d projected to be $86.6 million \u2062per year.<\/p>\n<p>According to \u2063the DOE&#8217;s analysis, the net monetized benefit of the new rule would amount to \u2062$316.7 million,\u2062 with reduced equipment operating\u2062 costs, monetized climate benefits, and monetized health benefits. However, Republicans have been critical of the Biden \u200badministration&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/republicans-blast-doe-gas-stove-proposal-as-alarming-violation-of-law\/\" title=\"Republicans criticize DOE gas stove proposal as 'disturbing breach' of law.\">appliance \u2064efficiency standards<\/a>,\u2063 particularly those targeting home kitchen appliances. Notably, Republicans previously criticized the DOE&#8217;s proposal to set energy standards\u2064 for gas stoves and\u200d other conventional cooking products.<\/p>\n<p>Under the\u2063 Biden administration, the Energy Department has \u200cbeen implementing stricter regulations on \u2063household appliances, proposing new standards for gas stoves, ovens, refrigerators, and other appliances.\u2064 President Joe Biden&#8217;s executive \u2063order on his first day \u200bin\u2062 office mandated the Energy Department to make &#8220;major\u2063 revisions&#8221; to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/doe-rule-regulating-ceiling-fans-targeted-by-house-republicans\/\" title=\"House Republicans are targeting the DOE rule that regulates ceiling fans.\">current appliance regulation \u200bstandards set<\/a> by \u2064the previous administration.<\/p>\n<p>The letter sent by Chairman Williams and others sets \u2064a response deadline of August 30.<\/p>\n<h3>Read More:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\">Click here<\/a> to read\u2062 more from The \u2064Washington Examiner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>impact small businesses.
