Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy. ACTION: Correcting amendments. SUMMARY: On June 1, 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy (“DOE” or “the Department”) published a final rule amending DOE's clothes washer test procedures. This document corrects formatting and typographical errors and omissions in the regulatory text of that final rule. Neither the errors and omissions nor the corrections in this document affect the substance of the rulemaking or any conclusions reached in support of the final rule.
DATES: Effective December 23, 2022. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Carl Shapiro, 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)287-5649. Email: *ApplianceStandardsQuestions@ee.doe.gov.* Ms. Melanie Lampton, U.S. Department of Energy, Office of the General Counsel, GC-33, 1000 Independence Avenue SW, Washington, DC 20585-0121. Telephone:
(240)751-5157. Email: *Melanie.Lampton@hq.doe.gov.* SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background On June 1, 2022, DOE published a final rule amending DOE's clothes washer test procedures (“June 2022 Final Rule”). 87 FR 33316. The June 2022 Final Rule amended provisions in DOE's test procedure prescribed at title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (“CFR”) part 430, subpart B, appendix J2 (“appendix J2”); established a new test procedure at 10 CFR part 430, subpart B, appendix J (“appendix J”); and amended provisions in DOE's test method for measuring the moisture absorption and retention characteristics of new lots of energy test cloth, which is used in testing clothes washers, at 10 CFR part 430, subpart B, appendix J3 (“appendix J3”). DOE is issuing this rule to correct certain technical errors and omissions in the June 2022 Final Rule, specifically appendices J, J2, and J3 of 10 CFR part 430, and to assist regulated entities with compliance efforts. II. Discussion As established in the June 2022 Final Rule, section 4 of appendix J defines the four energy components (HE <sup>T</sup> , ME <sup>T</sup> , DE <sup>T</sup> , and E <sup>TLP</sup> ) 1 comprising the energy efficiency metric. For clothes washers with multiple water fill control systems, each of these four components yields a different result for each type of water fill control system and therefore must be calculated separately for each control type and then averaged, with the average value used for the final calculations in section 4, as directed by section 3.2.3.5 of appendix J. Specifically, section 3.2.3.5 of appendix J specifies that if a clothes washer allows user selection among multiple water fill control systems, all water fill control systems must be tested and, for each one, each energy consumption and water consumption value as set forth in section 4 of appendix J must be calculated and averaged across the water fill control systems. The average value is then used in the final calculations in section 4 of appendix J. But, in the June 2022 Final Rule, the Department inadvertently omitted E <sup>TLP</sup> from the list of variables used to calculate energy consumption in section 3.2.3.5 of appendix J. DOE is correcting that omission by adding E <sup>TLP</sup> to the parenthetical list of energy consumption parameters in section 3.2.3.5 of appendix J. 1 HE <sup>T</sup> is the total weighted per-cycle hot water energy consumption, ME <sup>T</sup> is the total weighted per-cycle machine electrical energy consumption, DE <sup>T</sup> is the per-cycle energy consumption for removal of moisture content from test load, and E <sup>TLP</sup> is the per-cycle combined low-power mode. In the June 2022 Final Rule, DOE made a typographical error in section 3.3 of appendix J, stating that testing is to be performed “on each wash/rinse temperature selection available in the energy test cycle was [ *sic* ] defined in section 2.12.1 of this appendix.” 87 FR 33390. In this document, DOE corrects the word “was” to “as” in section 3.3 of appendix J. In the June 2022 Final Rule, DOE expanded Table 5.1 of appendix J2; however, the expanded table did not re-print with the two established notes 2 at the end of the table. 87 FR 33402-33403. These two notes have been incorporated in Table 5.1 since the table's inclusion in appendix J2. Additionally, DOE did not propose their removal during the rulemaking process. The regulatory instruction provided for this amendment in the June 2022 Final Rule resulted in the inadvertent removal of the notes from Table 5.1 of appendix J2. This document corrects the omission by adding the two notes at end of the revised table. 2 Two notes indicate that
(1)all test load weights are bone-dry weights; and
(2)allowable tolerance on the test load weights is ±0.10 lbs (0.05 kg). In the regulatory text of the June 2022 Final Rule, the title and the column headings of new Table 8.7 of appendix J3 were mis-printed. The title of Table 8.7 inadvertently included an extra line break before the variable name provided in parentheses, *i.e.,* “(RMC <sup>standard</sup> ).” To simplify the table heading, DOE is removing the variable name in parentheses in the title of Table 8.7. Additionally, the column headers for Table 8.7 list the water soak temperature and the spin times used to develop the values presented in the table. In the regulatory text of the June 2022 Final Rule, the spin time column headers were listed in the wrong order. 87 FR 33405. This document corrects the order of the headings in Table 8.7 of appendix J3. Because this final rule simply corrects errors and omissions in the text without making substantive changes, the changes addressed in this document are technical in nature. III. Procedural Issues and Regulatory Review DOE has concluded that the determinations made pursuant to the various procedural requirements applicable to the June 2022 Final Rule remain unchanged for this final rule's technical corrections. These determinations are set forth in the June 2022 Final Rule and are adopted here. 87 FR 33316, 33375-33379. Pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b), DOE finds that there is good cause to not issue a separate notice to solicit public comment on those technical corrections contained in this document. Issuing a separate notice to solicit public comment would be impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to the public interest. As explained above, the corrections in this document do not affect the substance of the June 2022 Final Rule or any of the conclusions reached in support of the final rule. Additionally, given the final rule is a product of an extensive administrative record with numerous opportunities for public comment, DOE finds additional comment on the technical corrections is unnecessary. Therefore, providing prior notice and an opportunity for public comment on correcting objective, typographical errors and omissions that do not change the substance of the test procedure serves no useful purpose. Further, this rule correcting typographical errors and omissions makes non-substantive changes to the test procedure in the June 2022 Final Rule. As such, this final rule is not subject to the 30-day delay in effective date requirement of 5 U.S.C. 553(d) otherwise applicable to rules that make substantive changes.
