(21) Change of employers during 
COVID–19 National Emergency. (i) If an 
H–2A nonimmigrant who is physically present in the United States seeks to change employers during the COVID–19 National Emergency (which began on March 1, 2020), the prospective new H– 2A employer may file an H–2A petition on Form I–129, accompanied by a valid temporary agricultural labor certification, requesting an extension of the alien’s stay in the United States. To be approved under this paragraph (h)(21), an H–2A petition must be received no later than August 18, 2020. If the new petition is approved, the extension of stay may be granted for the validity of the approved petition for a period not to exceed the validity period of the temporary agricultural labor certification. Notwithstanding paragraph (h)(2)(i)(D) of this section and 8 CFR 274a.12(b)(21), an alien in valid H–2A nonimmigrant status on March 1, 2020, or lawfully obtaining such status thereafter pursuant to this paragraph (h)(21), is authorized to begin employment with the new petitioner after the petition described in this paragraph (h)(21) is received by USCIS, but no earlier than the start date of employment, indicated in the H–2A petition. The H–2A worker is authorized to commence employment with the petitioner before the petition is approved and subject to the requirements of 8 CFR 274a.12(b)(26) for a period of up to 45 days beginning on the Received Date on Form I–797 (Notice of Action) or, if the start date of employment occurs after the I–797 Received Date, 45 days beginning on the start date of employment indicated in 
the H–2A petition. If USCIS adjudicates the petition prior to the expiration of this 45-day period and denies the petition for extension of stay, or if the petition is withdrawn by the petitioner before the expiration of the 45-day period, the employment authorization associated with the filing of that petition under 8 CFR 274a.12(b)(26) will automatically terminate 15 days after the date of the denial decision or the date on which the petition is withdrawn. 
(ii) Notwithstanding paragraphs 
(h)(5)(viii)(C), (h)(13)(i)(B), and (h)(15)(ii)(C) of this section, an H–2A petition seeking an extension of stay, submitted with a valid temporary agricultural labor certification, may be approved on the basis of paragraph (h)(21)(i) of this section, even if any of the aliens requested in the H–2A 
petition have exhausted the otherwise applicable 3-year maximum period of stay in the United States and have not thereafter been absent from the United States for an uninterrupted period of 3 months, or if any such aliens would exceed the 3-year limit as a consequence of the approval of the extension. 
(iii) This paragraph (h)(21) will expire 
on August 18, 2020.

The length of the period (up to 45 days) is to be determined by USCIS in its discretion. However, if USCIS adjudicates the petition prior to the expiration of this 45-day period and denies the petition for extension of stay, or if the petitioner withdraws the petition before the expiration of the 45- day period, the employment authorization under this paragraph (b)(26) will automatically terminate upon 15 days after the date of the denial decision or the date on which the petition is withdrawn.

Energy Conservation Program: Test 
Procedures for Portable Air Conditioners; Correction 
AGENCY : Office of Energy Efficiency and 
Renewable Energy, Department of Energy. 
ACTION : Final rule; correcting 
amendments. 
SUMMARY : On June 1, 2016, the U.S. 
Department of Energy (‘‘DOE’’) published a final rule adopting test procedures for portable air conditioners (‘‘June 2016 final rule’’). A correction rule was subsequently published on October 14, 2016 (‘‘October 2016 correction rule’’), to correct typographical errors in the June 2016 final rule that were included in the regulatory text. This document corrects typographical errors introduced in the October 2016 correction rule, including missing parentheses and incorrect variable names. Neither the errors nor the corrections in this document affect the substance of the rulemaking or any of the conclusions reached in support of the final rule. 
DATES : Effective April 20, 2020.

I. Background 
DOE published a final rule in the 
Federal Register on June 1, 2016, 
establishing test procedures for portable air conditioners in appendix CC to subpart B of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 430 (‘‘appendix CC’’). 81 FR 35242. On October 14, 2016, DOE published a correction rule that revised appendix CC to correct typographical errors identified following the publication of the June 2016 final rule. 81 FR 70923. An additional correction rule was published on February 21, 2019, to republish amendments that could not be incorporated the Code of Federal Regulations due to inaccurate amendatory instructions provided in the June 2016 final rule. 84 FR 5346. DOE subsequently identified typographical errors in appendix CC that were introduced in the October 2016 correction rule. This correction rule revises appendix CC to correct these typographical errors. 
Specifically, in section 4.1.2 of 
appendix CC, DOE is correcting the following errors: Missing parentheses in the Q
s_95and Q s_83equations; extended 
underscore and capitalization in the subscript for the variable c
p_wvand 
missing underscore for the variable w ia_
95in the Q s_95equation; and missing 
subscripts for the Q l_83variable in the 
Qinfiltration _83equation. DOE is also 
clarifying in the variable list for the Q l_
95and Q l_83equations that the ‘‘60’’ 
value represents the conversion factor from minutes to hours. 
II. Need for Correction 
As published, the regulatory text in 
the June 2016 final rule as corrected by 
the October 2016 and February 2019 correction rules may result in confusion due to typographical errors in section 
4.1.2 of appendix CC. Because this final rule would simply correct errors in the text without making substantive changes in the June 2016 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 June 2016 final rule remain unchanged for this final rule technical correction. These determinations are set forth in the June 2016 final rule. 81 FR 35242, 35260. 
Pursuant to the Administrative 
Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C. 553(b), DOE has determined there is good cause to find that notice and prior opportunity for comment on this rule are unnecessary and contrary to the public interest. Neither the errors nor the corrections in this document affect the substance of the June 2016 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.
