Petition for review filed.
Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), Sierra Club, Consumer Federation of America, and Massachusetts Union of Public Housing Tenants filed a petition for review in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals to challenge the U.S. Department of Energy rule establishing a new product class for residential dishwashers. In a <a href="https://www.nrdc.org/media/2020/201229">press release</a>, NRDC said the rule was “circumventing longtime energy and water efficiency standards for dishwashers by needlessly creating a new category exempt from any energy-saving requirements, potentially leading to higher household utility bills and more pollution.”
