SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) published a final rule in the Federal Register on July 18, 2016 (“the July 18 final rule”), that established a final coverage determination and test procedures for miscellaneous refrigeration products. 81 FR 46767. In that rulemaking, DOE made drafting errors in the preamble and regulatory text. Specifically, DOE inadvertently amended 10 CFR 430.23 to add paragraph (dd) to coolers and combination cooler refrigeration products. That paragraph, however, is already assigned to portable air conditioners. Accordingly, references to paragraph (dd) must be corrected to refer to paragraph (ff). In order to remedy this error, DOE is correcting the preamble on page 46783, section 2., second paragraph where DOE references 10 CFR 430.23(dd). DOE is also correcting amendatory instruction 10.b. on page 46792, and the reference to paragraph (dd) on page 46794. The effective date for this rule is August 17, 2016.
