On October 15, Commerce submitted a proposal to fund the State Energy Efficiency Appliance Rebate Program (SEEARP). It is anticipated U.S. DOE approval of the plan by mid to late November, at which time final plan details will be available. The proposed program will provide rebates for replacement of existing refrigerators and clothes washers with high efficiency models. The program plans to make consumer rebates available in mid February if all goes as scheduled.
