The US government will stop asking for reports on some power supply parts

The US Department of Energy is cutting reporting rules for certain external power supplies. This means manufacturers of these power supplies no longer have to submit regular reports to the government.

The government previously required manufacturers to report on how much energy these power supplies used. This rule change means less paperwork for companies that make specific types of external power supplies, like those used in consumer electronics. It also means the government will have less data on the energy efficiency of these components.
