that the prescription and imposition of 
such energy conservation standard is

economically justified2 or  7#b7 enforce
 an energy conservation standard        
prescribed under such section for a

covered product2 or  7#b7 enforce an    
energy conservation standard prescribed 
under such section for a covered product
 that is a clothes dryer if the
