242 U.S.C. 6294. EPCA also requires the 
Department of Energy (‘‘DOE’’) to develop test 
procedures that measure how much energy appliances use, and to determine the representative average cost a consumer pays for different types of energy. 316 CFR 305.10. 
4In 2017, DOE announced changes to the rating 
methods and associated efficiency descriptors for central air conditioners (e.g., from ‘‘Seasonal Energy 
Efficiency Ratio (SEER)’’ to ‘‘Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2 (SEER2)’’). 82 FR 1786 (Jan. 6, 2017); and 82 FR 24211 (May 26, 2017). 
5Commissioner Christine S. Wilson issued a 
dissent stating that the Commission should also seek further comment on broader issues including the ‘‘more prescriptive aspects of this Rule’’ and other changes to ‘‘maximize the positive impact of this Rule for consumers.’’ 6AHRI is a trade association representing central 
air conditioner manufacturers. 
7The comments are posted at regulations.gov. 
8Two industry commenters (AHRI (#0030–0031) 
and Goodman (#0030–0032)) urged the Commission 
to issue the range updates ‘‘expeditiously’’ so that manufacturers ‘‘have certainty on the revised EnergyGuide labels and adequate time to implement the labels.’’ These two commenters also urged the Commission to postpone considering other potential Rule changes discussed in Commissioner Wilson’s dissenting statement. 
9The final amendments contain a few minor 
corrections to the sample labels in the June document (the top range number on Prototype Label 3; inclusion of asterisks and updated geographic 
information on Sample Label 3, and the removal of optional capacity numbers on labels). FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

AGENCY : Federal Trade Commission. 
ACTION : Final rule. 
SUMMARY : The Federal Trade 
Commission (‘‘FTC’’ or ‘‘Commission’’) 
issues amendments to update the comparability ranges and sample labels for central air conditioners in the Energy Labeling Rule (‘‘Rule’’). 
DATES : The amendments are effective on 
January 1, 2023.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
I. Energy Labeling Rule 
The Commission issued the Energy 
Labeling Rule (‘‘Rule’’) in 1979,1 
pursuant to the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (‘‘EPCA’’).
2 
The Rule requires energy labeling for major home appliances and other consumer products to help consumers compare the energy usage and costs of competing models. It also contains labeling requirements for refrigerators, refrigerator-freezers, freezers, dishwashers, water heaters, clothes washers, room and portable air conditioners, furnaces, central air conditioners, heat pumps, plumbing 
products, lighting products, ceiling fans, and televisions. 
The Rule requires manufacturers to 
attach yellow EnergyGuide labels to many of the covered products and prohibits retailers from removing these labels or rendering them illegible. In addition, it directs sellers, including retailers, to post label information on websites and in paper catalogs from which consumers can order products. EnergyGuide labels for most covered products contain three main disclosures: Estimated annual energy cost, a product’s energy consumption or energy efficiency rating as determined by Department of Energy (‘‘DOE’’) test procedures, and a comparability range displaying the highest and lowest energy costs or efficiency ratings for all similar models. Under the Rule, the Commission periodically updates comparability range and annual energy cost information based on manufacturer data submitted pursuant to the Rule’s reporting requirements.

II. Updated Ranges for Central Air Conditioners 
On February 12, 2021 (86 FR 9273), 
the Commission published conforming rule amendments reflecting new DOE efficiency descriptors on central air conditioner labels to ensure the Rule’s consistency with DOE requirements, which become effective on January 1, 2023.
4In the February document, the 
Commission stated it would update ranges in appendices H and I, and the sample labels in appendix L, once new efficiency numbers became available. 
On June 2, 2021 (86 FR 29533), the 
Commission proposed to update the comparability ranges for central air 
conditioners to ensure manufacturers have information available for the upcoming transition to new efficiency descriptors required by DOE.
5In the 
June 2021 document, the Commission proposed to update the range table data (appendices H and I) and sample labels 
in the Rule (appendix L) using new information from the Air-Conditioning, Heating, & Refrigeration Institute (‘‘AHRI’’) and DOE staff input.
6In 
response to the June document, the Commission received 31 comments. Commenters were generally supportive of the proposed updates, and none opposed the proposed ranges.
7 
Commenters also made various suggestions for EnergyGuide labeling improvements and Rule changes (e.g., the use of QR codes) not directly relevant to the range updates set out in the June document.
8The Commission 
may consider these suggestions, which would require further consideration and additional public comment, in connection with future regulatory reviews. 
Based on this record, the Commission 
is finalizing the range amendments in this document.
9Consistent with the 
February 2021 amendments to the new energy descriptors, the effective date for these ranges is January 1, 2023. As the Commission stated in the February 2021 document, manufacturers may begin using the new range information prior to that date, in a manner consistent with DOE guidance now that the FTC has issued the final updates to appendices H and I once the FTC issues the final updates to appendices H and I. 
III. Paperwork Reduction Act 
The current Rule contains 
recordkeeping, disclosure, testing, and 
reporting requirements that constitute information collection requirements as defined by 5 CFR 1320.3(c), the definitional provision within the Office of Management and Budget (‘‘OMB’’) regulations that implement the Paperwork Reduction Act (‘‘PRA’’). OMB has approved the Rule’s existing

information collection requirements 
through December 31, 2022 (OMB Control No. 3084–0069). The amendments do not change the substance or frequency of the Rule’s recordkeeping, disclosure, or reporting requirements and, therefore, do not require further OMB clearance. 
IV. Regulatory Flexibility Act 
The Regulatory Flexibility Act 
(‘‘RFA’’), 5 U.S.C. 601–612, requires that 
the Commission conduct an analysis of the anticipated economic impact of the proposed amendment on small entities. The RFA requires that the Commission provide an Initial Regulatory Flexibility Analysis (‘‘IRFA’’) with a rule unless the Commission certifies that the rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 5 U.S.C. 605. The amendments merely update the Rule’s appendices to include revised comparability ranges 
and sample labels for central air conditioners based on more recent data. The proposed amendments do not significantly change the substance or frequency of the recordkeeping, disclosure, or reporting requirements. Thus, the amendments will not have a ‘‘significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.’’ 5 U.S.C. 605. The Commission has concluded, therefore, that a regulatory flexibility analysis is not necessary, and certifies, under Section 605 of the RFA (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), that the amendments will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
V. Other Matters 
Pursuant to the Congressional Review 
Act (5 U.S.C. 801 et seq.), the Office of 
Information and Regulatory Affairs designated this rule as not a ‘‘major rule,’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

Christine S. Wilson 
Today the Commission announces 
required changes to the Energy Labeling Rule but makes no other changes to the Rule. Since 2015, the Commission has sought comment on provisions of this Rule multiple times and has made numerous amendments clarifying the Rule’s requirements and making 
necessary changes. I have repeatedly urged the Commission to seek comment on the more prescriptive aspects of this Rule. I have explained my concerns about the highly prescriptive nature of this Rule in detail in my prior dissents. Regrettably, again today, the Commission chooses to make minor

Technical Amendment to List of User 
Fee Airports: Removal of One Airport 
AGENCY : U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection, Department of Homeland Security (DHS). 
ACTION : Final rule; technical 
amendment. 
SUMMARY : This document amends U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) regulations by removing one airport from the list of user fee airports. User fee airports are airports that have been approved by the Commissioner of CBP to receive, for a fee, the customs services of CBP officers for processing aircraft, passengers, and cargo entering the United States, but do not qualify for designation as international or landing rights airports. Specifically, this technical amendment reflects the removal of the designation of user fee airport status for the Charlotte-Monroe Executive Airport in Monroe, North Carolina. 
DATES : Effective date: October 20, 2021. 
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : 
Ryan Flanagan, Director, Alternative Funding Program, Office of Field Operations, U.S. Customs and Border Protection at Ryan.H.Flanagan@cbp.dhs.gov or 202–550–9566. 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
Background 
Title 19, part 122 of the Code of 
Federal Regulations (19 CFR part 122) sets forth regulations relating to the entry and clearance of aircraft engaged in international commerce and the transportation of persons and cargo by aircraft in international commerce.
1 
Generally, a civil aircraft arriving from outside the United States must land at an airport designated as an international airport. Alternatively, civil aircraft may 
request permission to land at a specific airport and, if landing rights are granted, the civil aircraft may land at that landing rights airport.
2 
Section 236 of the Trade and Tariff 
Act of 1984 (Pub. L. 98–573, 98 stat. 2948, 2994 (1984)), codified at 19 U.S.C. 58b, created an alternative option for civil aircraft seeking to land at an airport that is neither an international 
airport nor a landing rights airport. This alternative option allows the Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to designate an airport, upon request by the airport authority or other sponsoring entity, as a user fee airport.
3Pursuant to 19 U.S.C. 
58b, a requesting airport may be designated as a user fee airport only if CBP determines that the volume or value of business at the airport is insufficient to justify the unreimbursed availability of customs services at the airport and the governor of the state in which the airport is located approves the designation. As the volume or value of business cleared through this type of airport is insufficient to justify the availability of customs services at no cost, customs services provided by CBP at the airport are not funded by appropriations from the general treasury of the United States. Instead, the user fee airport pays for the customs services provided by CBP. The user fee airport must pay the fees charged, which must be in an amount equal to the expenses incurred by CBP in providing customs and related services at the user fee airport, including the salary and expenses of CBP employees to provide such services. See 19 U.S.C. 58b; also 19 
CFR 24.17(a)–(b). 
CBP designates airports as user fee 
airports in accordance with 19 U.S.C. 58b and 19 CFR 122.15 and on a case- by-case basis. If CBP decides that the conditions for designation as a user fee airport are satisfied, a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) is executed between the Commissioner of CBP and the sponsor of the user fee airport. Pursuant to 19 CFR 122.15(c), the designation of an airport as a user fee airport must be withdrawn if either CBP or the airport authority gives 120 days written notice of termination to the other party, or if any amounts due to CBP are not paid on a timely basis. 
The list of designated user fee airports 
is set forth in 19 CFR 122.15(b). Periodically, CBP updates the list to include newly designated airports that were not previously on the list, to reflect any changes in the names of the designated user fee airports, and to remove airports that are no longer designated as user fee airports. 
Recent Change Requiring Update to the 
List of User Fee Airports 
This document updates the list of user 
fee airports in 19 CFR 122.15(b) by removing the Charlotte-Monroe Executive Airport in Monroe, North Carolina. On February 3, 2021, the Monroe City Manager requested termination of the user fee status for the Charlotte-Monroe Executive Airport, and the Monroe City Manager and CBP mutually agreed to terminate the user fee status of Charlotte-Monroe Executive Airport effective on June 30, 2021. 
Inapplicability of Public Notice and 
Delayed Effective Date Requirements 
Under the Administrative Procedure 
Act (5 U.S.C. 553(b)), an agency is exempted from the prior public notice and comment procedures if it finds, for good cause, that such procedures are impracticable, unnecessary, or contrary to the public interest. This final rule makes a conforming change by updating the list of user fee airports by removing one airport in light of the CBP Commissioner’s withdrawal of its designation as a user fee airport, in accordance with 19 U.S.C. 58b. Because this conforming rule has no substantive impact, is technical in nature, and does not impose additional burdens on or take away any existing rights or privileges from the public, CBP finds for good cause that the prior public notice and comment procedures are impracticable, unnecessary, and contrary to the public interest. For the same reasons, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3), a delayed effective date is not required. 
Regulatory Flexibility Act and 
Executive Order 12866 
Because no notice of proposed 
rulemaking is required, the provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.) do not apply. This 
amendment does not meet the criteria
