AHAM supported the
EPS Service Parts Act of 2014 (H.R. 5057; 113th Congress), a bill that would exempt certain
external power supplies from complying with standards set forth in a final rule published by the
United States Department of Energy in February 2014. The
United States House Committee on Energy and Commerce describes the bill as a bill that "provides regulatory relief by making a simple technical correction to the
2007 Energy Independence and Security Act to exempt certain power supply (EPS) service and spare parts from federal efficiency standards." In July 2024, AHAM signed a letter to members of both the
House Committee on Armed Services and the
Senate Committee on Armed Services opposing Section 828 of S. 4628, the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025, entitled "Requirement for Contractors to Provide Reasonable Access to Repair Materials," which would require contractors doing business with the US military to agree "to provide the Department of Defense fair and reasonable access to all the repair materials, including parts, tools, and information, used by the manufacturer or provider or their authorized partners to diagnose, maintain, or repair the good or service." ==References==
