  7. LMI Subcommittee Results #1. The following specifications represent the subcommittee's best estimate of "the average efficiency levels for the component after the full efficiency retrofit is completed under today's programs." If the RTF pursues LMI Option 3, these values should be used to represent the full measure package.

  8. LMI Subcommittee Results #2. The RTF should not proceed with implementing Option 3 until it revisits the merits of Option 3. Option 1c, or similar, may be a better option.
