The Energy Department on Dec. 29 issued a proposed rule (here) that would require the filing in the Automated Commercial Environment at time of entry of “certifications of admissibility” for each shipment of products covered by DOE energy efficiency standards. Filers would be required to submit data elements referring to importers’ annual certifications if on file in DOE’s Compliance and Certification Management System. If not, filers would have to submit data on the specific product being imported. Additional data would be required if the product is a component incorporated into a final product. New filing requirements would take effect two years after publication of any final rule, said DOE. Comments on the proposed rule are due Feb. 12.

The waiver, which takes immediate effect, will remain in effect until DDTC amends its regulations to remove the requirement, said the agency.
