A federal appeals court on Tuesday struck down a Biden administration-era rule setting efficiency standards for gas and electric stoves and ovens, ruling that the Energy Department improperly bypassed public comment procedures. In a unanimous decision, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with seven Republican-led states that challenged the Department of Energy's 2024 “direct final rule." The court found the agency should not have used the streamlined process reserved for uncontroversial matters, given prior opposition to similar standards.
