Supplementary Information

This document corrects tables and sample labels for central air conditioners in the August 12, 2014, final rule document (79 FR 46985) amending the Energy Labeling Rule (“Rule”), 16 CFR part 305. Specifically, this document corrects the lower range numbers for several central air conditioner categories to reflect new DOE minimum conservation standards scheduled for January 1, 2015, adds range numbers for space-constrained and small-duct, high-velocity product categories omitted from the tables in the final rule document, 1 and makes conforming corrections to the range numbers on the sample labels. 1 In a January 25, 2013 final rule document (78 FR 8362), the Commission announced that it would add ranges to the Rule for space-constrained products and small-duct, high-velocity systems. In FR Doc. 2014-18501, appearing in the Federal Register of Tuesday, August 12, 2014 (79 FR 46985), the following corrections are made: Appendix H to Part 305 [Corrected] 1. On page 46986, the table in Appendix H to Part 305 is corrected to read as follows: Manufacturer's rated cooling capacity (Btu's/hr.) Range of SEER's Low High Single Package Units Central Air Conditioners (Cooling Only): All capacities 14 20 Heat Pumps (Cooling Function): All capacities 14 18.1 Split System Units Central Air Conditioners (Cooling Only): All capacities 13 26 Heat Pumps (Cooling Function): All capacities 14 30.5 Small-duct, high-velocity Systems 12 12.5 Space-constrained Products Central Air Conditioners (Cooling Only): All capacities 12 14 Heat Pumps (Cooling Function): All capacities 12 14 Appendix I to Part 305 [Corrected] 2. On pages 46986 through 46987, the table in Appendix I to Part 305 is corrected to read as follows: Manufacturer's rated heating capacity (Btu's/hr.) Range of HSPF's Low High Single Package Units Heat Pumps (Heating Function): All capacities 8.0 9.2 Split System Units Heat Pumps (Heating Function): All capacities 8.2 13.5 Small-duct, high-velocity Systems 7.2 7.2 Space-Constrained Products Heat Pumps (Heating Function): All capacities 7.4 7.6 Appendix L to Part 305 [Corrected] 3. On pages 46988 through 46992, Prototype Labels 3 and 4 and Sample Labels 7, 7A, and 8 are corrected to read as follows: BILLING CODE 6750-01-P ER04SE14.018 ER04SE14.019 ER04SE14.020 ER04SE14.021 ER04SE14.022 By direction of the Commission.
