DOE alleged in a Notice of Proposed Civil Penalty that Hudson-Reed Limited failed to certify its showerheads as compliant with the water conservation standards. DOE regulations require a manufacturer (which includes importers) to submit reports certifying that its products have been tested and meet the applicable water conservation standards. This civil penalty notice advises the company of the potential penalties and DOE's administrative process, including the company's right to a hearing.
