SEC. 322. INCANDESCENT REFLECTOR LAMP EFFICIENCY STANDARDS.(a) Definitions.—Section 321 of the Energy Policy and Conservation Act (42 U.S.C. 6291) (as amended by section 316(c)(1)(D)) is amended—(1) in paragraph (30)(C)(ii)—(A) in the matter preceding subclause (I)—(i) by striking “or similar bulb shapes (excluding ER or BR)” and inserting “ER, BR, BPAR, or similar bulb shapes”; and(ii) by striking “2.75” and inserting “2.25”; and(B) by striking “is either—” and all that follows through subclause (II) and inserting “has a rated wattage that is 40 watts or higher”; and(2) by adding at the end the following:“(54) BPAR incandescent reflector lamp.—The term ‘BPAR incandescent reflector lamp’ means a reflector lamp as shown in figure C78.21–278 on page 32 of ANSI C78.21–2003.“(55) BR incandescent reflector lamp; br30; br40.—“(A) BR incandescent reflector lamp.—The term ‘BR incandescent reflector lamp’ means a reflector lamp that has—“(i) a bulged section below the major diameter of the bulb and above the approximate baseline of the bulb, as shown in figure 1 (RB) on page 7 of ANSI C79.1–1994, incorporated by reference in section 430.22 of title 10, Code of Federal Regulations (as in effect on the date of enactment of this paragraph);
