Energy Conservation Program: Test 
Procedure for Battery Chargers; Correction 
AGENCY : Office of Energy Efficiency and 
Renewable Energy, Department of Energy. 
ACTION : Final rule; correction. 
SUMMARY : The U.S. Department of 
Energy (‘‘DOE’’) is correcting a final rule that appeared in the Federal Register on September 8, 2022. The document amended test procedures for battery chargers. This document corrects amendatory errors in that final rule. 
DATES : Effective October 11, 2022.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
I. Background 
DOE published a final rule in the 
Federal Register on September 8, 2022 (September 2022 Final Rule), amending the test procedure for battery chargers. 87 FR 55090. This correction addresses numbering errors in the amendatory language in that final rule. First, DOE noted in the amendatory 
instructions that it was replacing the 
text ‘‘appendix Y’’ with the text ‘‘appendices Y and Y1’’ in paragraph (p)(3) of 10 CFR 430.3 and replacing the text ‘‘Y, Z’’ with the text ‘‘Y, Y1, Z’’ in paragraph (p)(6) of 10 CFR 430.3. However, these paragraphs have recently been redesignated to paragraphs (p)(4) and (p)(7), respectively. Second, the instruction amending the introductory text of appendix Y to subpart B instructs to revise a note that does not currently exist. Instead, the instruction should have said to ‘‘add a note before the introductory text and revise the introductory paragraph’’. Finally, the instruction to revise the definition of C- Rate in appendix Y erroneously refers to amending section 2.1.0 when the instruction should have stated to amend section 2.10. of appendix Y to subpart B of part 430. 
II. Need for Correction 
As published, the regulatory text in 
September 2022 Final Rule may result 
in confusion due to incorrect section references. Because this final rule would simply correct errors in the text without making substantive changes in the September 2022 Final Rule, 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 September 2022 Final Rule remain unchanged for this final rule technical correction. These determinations are set forth in the September 2022 Final Rule. 87 FR 55090, 55117–55122. 
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 the changes contained in this document. Issuing a separate notice to solicit public comment would be impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to the public interest. Neither the errors nor the corrections in this document affect the substance of the September 2022 Final Rule or any of the conclusions reached in support of the final rule. Providing prior notice and an opportunity for public comment on correcting objective, typographical errors that do not change the substance of the test procedure serves no useful purpose. 
Further, this rule correcting 
typographical errors makes non- substantive changes to the test procedure. As such, this 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. 
In final rule FR Doc. 2022–18717, 
published in the issue of Thursday, September 8, 2022, (87 FR 55090), the following corrections are made: 
§ 430.3 [Corrected] 
■1. On page 55122, second column, 
amendatory instructions 4.b. and 4.c. are corrected to read as follows: 
■b. In paragraph (p)(4) introductory 
text, removing the text ‘‘appendix Y’’, and adding in its place the text ‘‘appendices Y and Y1’’; and 
■c. In paragraph (p)(7), removing the 
text ‘‘Y, Z,’’, and adding in its place the text ‘‘Y, Y1, Z’’. 
■2. On page 55122, third column, 
amendatory instructions 6.a. and 6.b. are corrected to read as follows: 
■a. Adding a note before the 
introductory text and revising the introductory paragraph; 
■b. Revising sections 2.10., 3.1.4.(b), 
3.2.5.(f), 3.3.4, 3.3.6.(c)(5), and 3.3.8.

FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM 
12 CFR Part 201 
[Docket No. R–1780] 
RIN 7100–AG38 
Regulation A: Extensions of Credit by 
Federal Reserve Banks 
AGENCY : Board of Governors of the 
Federal Reserve System. 
ACTION : Final rule. 
SUMMARY : The Board of Governors of the 
Federal Reserve System (‘‘Board’’) has adopted final amendments to its Regulation A to reflect the Board’s approval of an increase in the rate for primary credit at each Federal Reserve Bank. The secondary credit rate at each Reserve Bank automatically increased by formula as a result of the Board’s primary credit rate action. 
DATES : 
Effective date: The amendments to 
part 201 (Regulation A) are effective October 7, 2022. 
Applicability date: The rate changes 
for primary and secondary credit were applicable on September 22, 2022. 
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : M. 
Benjamin Snodgrass, Senior Counsel (202–263–4877), Legal Division, or Kristen Payne, Lead Financial Institution & Policy Analyst (202–452– 2872), or Margaret DeBoer, Senior Associate Director (202–452–3139), Division of Monetary Affairs; for users of telephone systems via text telephone (TTY) or any TTY-based Telecommunications Relay Services (TRS), please call 711 from any telephone, anywhere in the United States; Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 20th and C Streets NW, Washington, DC 20551. 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : The 
Federal Reserve Banks make primary and secondary credit available to depository institutions as a backup source of funding on a short-term basis, usually overnight. The primary and secondary credit rates are the interest rates that the twelve Federal Reserve Banks charge for extensions of credit under these programs. In accordance with the Federal Reserve Act, the primary and secondary credit rates are 
established by the boards of directors of the Federal Reserve Banks, subject to review and determination of the Board. 
On September 21, 2022, the Board 
voted to approve a 0.75 percentage point increase in the primary credit rate, thereby increasing the primary credit rate from 2.50 percent to 3.25 percent. 
In addition, the Board had previously approved the renewal of the secondary credit rate formula, the primary credit rate plus 50 basis points. Under the formula, the secondary credit rate increased by 0.75 percentage points as a result of the Board’s primary credit rate action, thereby increasing the secondary credit rate from 3.00 percent to 3.75 percent. The amendments to Regulation A reflect these rate changes. 
The 0.75 percentage point increase in 
the primary credit rate was associated with a 0.75 percentage point increase in the target range for the federal funds rate (from a target range of 2
1⁄4percent to 21⁄2 
percent to a target range of 3 percent to 3
1⁄4percent) announced by the Federal 
Open Market Committee on September 21, 2022, as described in the Board’s amendment of its Regulation D published elsewhere in today’s Federal Register. 
Administrative Procedure Act 
In general, the Administrative 
Procedure Act (‘‘APA’’)
1imposes three 
principal requirements when an agency 
promulgates legislative rules (rules made pursuant to Congressionally- delegated authority): (1) publication with adequate notice of a proposed rule; (2) followed by a meaningful opportunity for the public to comment on the rule’s content; and (3) publication of the final rule not less than 30 days before its effective date. The APA provides that notice and comment procedures do not apply if the agency for good cause finds them to be ‘‘unnecessary, impracticable, or contrary to the public interest.’’
2Section 553(d) 
of the APA also provides that publication at least 30 days prior to a rule’s effective date is not required for (1) a substantive rule which grants or recognizes an exemption or relieves a restriction; (2) interpretive rules and statements of policy; or (3) a rule for which the agency finds good cause for shortened notice and publishes its reasoning with the rule.
3The APA 
further provides that the notice, public comment, and delayed effective date requirements of 5 U.S.C. 553 do not apply ‘‘to the extent that there is involved . . . a matter relating to agency management or personnel or to public property, loans, grants, benefits, or contracts.’’
4 
Regulation A establishes the interest 
rates that the twelve Reserve Banks charge for extensions of primary credit and secondary credit. The Board has determined that the notice, public comment, and delayed effective date requirements of the APA do not apply to these final amendments to Regulation A. The amendments involve a matter relating to loans and are therefore exempt under the terms of the APA. Furthermore, because delay would undermine the Board’s action in responding to economic data and conditions, the Board has determined that ‘‘good cause’’ exists within the meaning of the APA to dispense with the notice, public comment, and delayed effective date procedures of the APA with respect to the final amendments to Regulation A. 
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis 
The Regulatory Flexibility Act 
(‘‘RFA’’) does not apply to a rulemaking 
where a general notice of proposed rulemaking is not required.
5As noted 
previously, a general notice of proposed rulemaking is not required if the final rule involves a matter relating to loans. Furthermore, the Board has determined that it is unnecessary and contrary to the public interest to publish a general notice of proposed rulemaking for this final rule. Accordingly, the RFA’s requirements relating to an initial and final regulatory flexibility analysis do not apply. 
Paperwork Reduction Act 
In accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (‘‘PRA’’) of 1995,
6the 
Board reviewed the final rule under the 
authority delegated to the Board by the Office of Management and Budget. The final rule contains no requirements subject to the PRA.
