Correction AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy. ACTION: Final rule; technical correction. SUMMARY: On June 8, 2016, the U.S. Department of Energy

(DOE)published a final rule in the **Federal Register** that amended the test procedures for central air conditioners and heat pumps. This final rule corrects multiple editorial errors in that final rule. DATES: *Effective Date:* August 18, 2016. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Ashley Armstrong, U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Building Technologies Office, EE-5B, 1000 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20585-0121. Telephone:

(202)586-6590. Email: *Ashley.Armstrong@ee.doe.gov.* Ms. Johanna Jochum, U.S. Department of Energy, Office of the General Counsel, GC-33, 1000 Independence Avenue SW., Washington, DC 20585-0121. Telephone:

(202)287-6307. Email: *Johanna.Jochum@hq.doe.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background On June 8, 2016, DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy published a test procedure final rule in the **Federal Register** titled, “Test Procedures for Central Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps” (“June 2016 final rule”). 81 FR 36992. Since the publication of that final rule, it has come to DOE's attention that, due to a technical oversight, certain portions of the regulatory text adopted in the June 2016 final rule for 10 CFR part 429 and appendix M to subpart B of 10 CFR part 430 (“appendix M”) contained editorial errors. As part of that final rule, DOE amended 10 CFR 429.16, which addresses certification of central air conditioners and heat pumps, and 10 CFR 429.70, which addresses alternate efficiency determination methods. This correction addresses editorial errors in § 429.16(a)(1), (d)(1), (d)(2), and (e)(4). Specifically, at § 429.16(a)(1), DOE included a cross reference to paragraph (c)(2) that should have referred to paragraph (b)(2)(i). In § 429.16(d)(1) and (2), DOE mistakenly transposed the words “less” and “greater.” At § 429.16(e)(4), DOE erroneously referred to cubic feet per minute

(cfm)instead of cubic feet per minute of standard air (scfm). At § 429.16(e)(4)(viii), DOE failed to remove regulatory text associated with changes to the test procedure for variable speed heat pumps not adopted in the June 2016 final rule that had been proposed on November 9, 2015 in a supplementary notice of proposed rulemaking (“November 2015 SNOPR”). 80 FR 69278. In order to remedy these errors, DOE is issuing this final rule correction to revise the text in these sections. In addition, the June 2016 final rule revised appendix M to subpart B of 10 CFR part 430 (“appendix M”), which specifies the “Uniform Test Method for the Measurement the Energy Consumption of Central Air Conditioners and Heat Pumps.” This correction also addresses several editorial errors in appendix M. In section 3.11.1 of appendix M, “If using the outdoor air enthalpy method as the secondary test method,” DOE erroneously numbered two subsections with the number “3.11.1.1.” The second of these two is renumbered to “3.11.1.2.” In section 4.1 of appendix M, “Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio

(SEER)Calculations,” DOE erroneously numbered subsection 4.1.3 as “4.1.2.3,” which propagated errors in numbering from that point through the end of section 4.1 and created erroneous cross-references to these sections. Section 4.1.2.3 is renumbered as section “4.1.3,” and the following section numbers through the end of section 4.1 are renumbered accordingly. Additionally, cross-references to the renumbered sections are revised. Sections 2.11 and 3.19 of appendix M contain errors in the tolerance allowed between temperature measurements. The preamble to the June 2016 final rule states that the maximum allowable temperature difference is 2.0 °F and that it applies to the average measurements for the test period. 81 FR 36991, 37028 (June 8, 2016). In section 2.11, DOE erroneously referred to “maximum difference between readings” rather than adding the clarification discussed in the preamble that “readings” referred to the average temperatures measured during the test period. In section 3.1.9, DOE similarly failed to include the clarifying information on the tolerance and erroneously provided a tolerance of 1.5 °F rather than 2.0 °F. DOE is correcting section 2.11 accordingly and correcting 3.1.9 to refer directly to section 2.11 rather than correcting the provided tolerance. Tables 8, 9, 15, 16, and 17 of appendix M contained various errors in testing tolerances for external resistance to airflow, airflow nozzle pressure difference, and electric voltage. In the preamble of the June 2016 Final Rule, DOE explained its intention to maintain the external resistance to airflow tolerance at 0.05 inches of water, to maintain the airflow nozzle pressure difference tolerance at 2.0%, and to maintain the electric voltage tolerance at 2.0%. 81 FR 36991, 37036 (June 8, 2016). However, this was not reflected in tables 8, 9, 15, 16 and 17 of appendix M, and the tables are revised to reflect these corrections. In section 3.13.1.d of appendix M, *P2* x was erroneously printed instead of *P* x in two instances. This section provides instructions for measurement of the indoor unit low voltage power *P* x , which is later subtracted from the measurement of heating season total off mode power ( *P2* x ) for coil-only split systems and for blower coil split systems for which a furnace or a modular blower is the designated air mover. Instances of *P2* x in section 3.13.1.d of appendix M are revised to *P* x . Finally, many of the instructions in the final rule that indicate that a default cyclic degradation coefficient is to be used if the tests to determine this value are not conducted, but erroneously did not specify that the default value is to be used if the value determined using the test exceeded the default value. 81 FR 36991, 37033 (June 8, 2016). DOE intended that the default value is to be used if the value determined using the test exceeds the default value for the cyclic degradation coefficient, and is correcting this omission in this final rule correction. II. Need for Correction As published, the adopted test procedure text may potentially result in confusion regarding how to correctly conduct DOE's central air conditioners and heat pumps test procedure. Because this final rule would simply correct errors in the regulatory text without making substantive changes to the test procedures, the changes addressed in this document are technical in nature. Accordingly, DOE finds that there is good cause under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) to not issue a separate notice to solicit public comment on the changes contained in this document. Issuing a separate notice to solicit public comment would be impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to the public interest. III. Procedural Requirements DOE has concluded that the determinations made pursuant to the various procedural requirements applicable to the June 8, 2016 test procedure final rule remain unchanged for this final rule technical correction. These determinations are set forth in the June 8, 2016 final rule. 81 FR 36992.

Conduct the optional high temperature cyclic test (H1C 1 ) to determine the heating mode cyclic-degradation coefficient, C D h . If this optional test is conducted but yields a tested C D h that exceeds the default C D h or if the optional test is not conducted, assign C D h the default value of 0.25. If a two-capacity heat pump locks out low capacity operation at lower outdoor temperatures, conduct the high temperature cyclic test (H1C 2 ) to determine the high-capacity heating mode cyclic-degradation coefficient, C D h (k=2). If this optional test at high capacity is conducted but yields a tested C D h (k = 2) that exceeds the default C D h (k = 2) or if the optional test is not conducted, assign C D h the default value. The default C D h (k=2) is the same value as determined or assigned for the low-capacity cyclic-degradation coefficient, C D h [or equivalently, C D h (k=1)].
