AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of Energy  
ACTION: Request for information  
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy ("DOE") is undertaking an early assessment review for 
amended energy conservation standards for automatic commercial ice makers ("ACIM") to 
determine whether to amend applicable energy cons ervation standards for this equipment. 
Specifically, through this request for information ("RFI"), DOE seeks data and information that could 
enable the agency to determine whether DOE should propose a "no -new-standard" determination 
because a more - stringe nt standard: Would not result in a significant savings of energy; is not 
technologically feasible; is not economically justified; or any combination of the foregoing. DOE
