EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY EFFICIENCY STANDARDS.

SEC. 301. EXTERNAL POWER SUPPLY EFFICIENCY STANDARDS.(a) Definitions.—Section 321 of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6291) is amended—(1) in paragraph (36)—(A) by striking “(36) The” and inserting the following:“(36) External power supply.—“(A) In general.—The”; and(B) by adding at the end the following:“(B) Active mode.—The term ‘active mode’ means the mode of operation when an external power supply is connected to the main electricity supply and the output is connected to a load.“(C) Class a external power supply.—“(i) In general.—The term ‘class A external power supply’ means a device that—“(I) is designed to convert line voltage AC input into lower voltage AC or DC output;“(II) is able to convert to only 1 AC or DC output voltage at a time;“(III) is sold with, or intended to be used with, a separate end-use product that constitutes the primary load;“(IV) is contained in a separate physical enclosure from the end-use product;“(V) is connected to the end-use product via a removable or hard-wired male/female electrical connection, cable, cord, or other wiring; and“(VI) has nameplate output power that is less than or equal to 250 watts.“(ii) Exclusions.—The term ‘class A external power supply’ does not include any device that—121 STAT. 1550“(I) requires Federal Food and Drug Administration listing and approval as a medical device in accordance with section 513 of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 360c); or“(II) powers the charger of a detachable battery pack or charges the battery of a product that is fully or primarily motor operated.“(D) No-load mode.—The term ‘no-load mode’ means the mode of operation when an external power supply is connected to the main electricity supply and the output is not connected to a load.”; and(2) by adding at the end the following:“(52) Detachable battery.—The term ‘detachable battery’ means a battery that is—“(A) contained in a separate enclosure from the product; and“(B) intended to be removed or disconnected from the product for recharging.”.(b) Test Procedures.—Section 323(b) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6293(b)) is amended by adding at the end the following:“(17) Class a external power supplies.—Test procedures for class A external power supplies shall be based on the ‘Test Method for Calculating the Energy Efficiency of Single-Voltage External AC–DC and AC–AC Power Supplies’ published by the Environmental Protection Agency on August 11, 2004, except that the test voltage specified in section 4(d) of that test method shall be only 115 volts, 60 Hz.”.(c) Efficiency Standards for Class A External Power Supplies.—Section 325(u) of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6295(u)) is amended by adding at the end the following:“(6) Efficiency standards for class a external power supplies.—“(A) In general.—Subject to subparagraphs (B) through (D), a class A external power supply manufactured on or after the later of July 1, 2008, or the date of enactment of this paragraph shall meet the following standards: “Active Mode “Nameplate OutputRequired Efficiency (decimal equivalent of a percentage) Less than 1 watt0.5 times the Nameplate Output From 1 watt to not more than 51 wattsThe sum of 0.09 times the Natural Logarithm of the Nameplate Output and 0.5 Greater than 51 watts0.85 “No-Load Mode “Nameplate OutputMaximum Consumption Not more than 250 watts0.5 watts 121 STAT. 1551“(B) Noncovered supplies.—A class A external power supply shall not be subject to subparagraph (A) if the class A external power supply is—“(i) manufactured during the period beginning on July 1, 2008, and ending on June 30, 2015; and“(ii) made available by the manufacturer as a service part or a spare part for an end-use product—“(I) that constitutes the primary load; and“(II) was manufactured before July 1, 2008.“(C) Marking.—Any class A external power supply manufactured on or after the later of July 1, 2008 or the date of enactment of this paragraph shall be clearly and permanently marked in accordance with the External Power Supply International Efficiency Marking Protocol, as referenced in the ‘Energy Star Program Requirements for Single Voltage External AC–DC and AC–AC Power Supplies, version 1.1’ published by the Environmental Protection Agency.“(D) Amendment of standards.—“(i) Final rule by july 1, 2011.—“(I) In general.—Not later than July 1, 2011, the Secretary shall publish a final rule to determine whether the standards established under subparagraph (A) should be amended.“(II) Administration.—The final rule shall—“(aa) contain any amended standards; and“(bb) apply to products manufactured on or after July 1, 2013.“(ii) Final rule by july 1, 2015.—“(I) In general.—Not later than July 1, 2015 the Secretary shall publish a final rule to determine whether the standards then in effect should be amended.“(II) Administration.—The final rule shall—“(aa) contain any amended standards; and“(bb) apply to products manufactured on or after July 1, 2017.“(7) End-use products.—An energy conservation standard for external power supplies shall not constitute an energy conservation standard for the separate end-use product to which the external power supplies is connected.”.
