Summary
This order cancels a lengthy federal regulation that defines "showerhead." It directs the Secretary of Energy to publish in the Federal Register a notice rescinding the December 20, 2021 rule (86 Fed. Reg. 71797) and the definition codified at 10 C.F.R. 430.2.
The rescission becomes effective 30 days after publication. The order states notice-and-comment is unnecessary because the repeal is ordered, and it requires implementation consistent with applicable law and available funding while not creating enforceable rights.
