The U.S. Department of Energy (``DOE'') proposes to amend the test procedures for water closets and urinals, to reference the most recent update to the relevant industry standard, American Society of Mechanical Engineers (``ASME'') Standard 112.19.2-2018. DOE also proposes to replace the term ``blowout toilet'' with ``blowout bowl water closet,'' and add definitions for the terms ``blowout action,'' ``gravity flush tank water closet,'' ``siphonic action,'' ``siphonic bowl,'' and ``trough-type urinal,'' which are currently used in the Federal test procedures but not defined. DOE is seeking comment from interested parties on the proposal.
