Each manufacturer of a covered product (except manufacturers of fluorescent lamp ballasts, metal halide lamp fixtures, showerheads, faucets, water closets, urinals, general service fluorescent lamps, and general service lamps) shall submit annually to the Commission a report listing the estimated annual energy consumption (for refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, freezers, clothes washers, dishwashers, and water heaters) or the energy efficiency rating (for room air conditioners, central air conditioners, heat pumps, furnaces, ceiling fans, and pool heaters) for each basic model in current production, determined according to § 305.5 and statistically verified according to § 305.6. The report must also list, for each basic model in current production: the brand name; the model numbers for each basic model; the total energy consumption, determined in accordance with § 305.5, used to calculate the estimated annual energy consumption or energy efficiency rating; the number of tests performed; and, its capacity, determined in accordance with § 305.7. For those models that use more than one energy source or more than one cycle, each separate amount of energy consumption, measured in accordance with § 305.5, shall be listed in the report. Starting serial numbers or other numbers identifying the date of manufacture of covered products shall be submitted whenever a new basic model is introduced on the market. For ceiling fans, the report shall contain the fan diameter in inches and also shall contain efficiency ratings, energy consumption, and capacity at high speed.

The report shall contain the following information:
(iv)
Starting serial number, date code or other means of identifying the date of manufacture (date of manufacture information must be included with only the first submission for each lamp type); and
(v)
For all covered lamps, the test results based on 10 CFR § 430.23 for the lamp's wattage and light output ratings.
(vi)
For all covered general service fluorescent lamps, the test results based on 10 CFR § 430.23 for the lamp's color rendering index and correlated color temperature.
(vii)
For all covered incandescent lamps, the test results based on 10 CFR § 430.23 for the lamp's correlated color temperature.
(viii)
For all covered compact fluorescent lamps, the test results based on 10 CFR § 430.23 for the lamp's life.

(iv)
Starting serial number, date code or other means of identifying the date of manufacture (date of manufacture information must be included with only the first submission for each basic model);
(v)
The product's water use, expressed in gallons and liters per flush (gpf and Lpf) or gallons and liters per minute (gpm and L/min) or per cycle (gpc and L/cycle) as determined in accordance with § 305.5.
(5)
Each manufacturer of a metal halide lamp fixture shall submit annually to the Commission a report for each basic model of metal halide lamp fixture in current production. The report shall contain the following information:
(iv)
Starting serial number, date code or other means of identifying the date of manufacture (date of manufacture information must be included with only the first submission for each basic model);
