Department of Energy (‘‘DOE’’) to set minimum 
efficiency standards and develop test procedures to measure energy use. 
2Previously, the Commission announced its 
intention to update the clothes washer ranges based on test data derived from updated DOE test 
requirements. See 80 FR 67351, 67355, n. 29 (Nov. 
2, 2015).

does not warrant preparation of a regulatory evaluation as the anticipated impact is so minimal. Since this is a routine matter that only affects air traffic procedures and air navigation, it is certified that this rule, when promulgated, does not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria of the Regulatory Flexibility Act. 
Environmental Review 
The FAA has determined that this 
action qualifies for categorical exclusion 
under the National Environmental Policy Act in accordance with FAA Order 1050.1F, ‘‘Environmental Impacts: Policies and Procedures’’ paragraph 5–6.5a. This airspace action is not expected to cause any potentially significant environmental impacts, and no extraordinary circumstances exists that warrant preparation of an environmental assessment.

FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION 
16 CFR Part 305 
RIN 3084–AB03 
Energy Labeling Rule 
AGENCY : Federal Trade Commission. 
ACTION : Final rule. 
SUMMARY : The Federal Trade 
Commission (‘‘Commission’’) amends 
its Energy Labeling Rule (‘‘Rule’’) by publishing new ranges of comparability for required EnergyGuide labels on clothes washers. 
DATES : The amendments announced in 
this document will become effective May 11, 2016. 
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT : 
Hampton Newsome, Attorney, Division of Enforcement, Federal Trade Commission, Washington, DC 20580 (202–326–2889). 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : 
I. Background 
The Commission issued the Energy 
Labeling Rule in 1979, 44 FR 66466 
(Nov. 19, 1979) pursuant to the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1975 (‘‘EPCA’’).
1The Rule covers several 
categories of major household products, including clothes washers. It requires manufacturers of covered products to disclose specific energy consumption or efficiency information (derived from Department of Energy (‘‘DOE’’) test procedures) at the point-of-sale. In addition, each label must include a ‘‘range of comparability’’ indicating the highest and lowest energy consumption or efficiencies for comparable models. The Commission updates these ranges periodically. 
II. Range Updates for Clothes Washers 
The Commission amends its 
comparability ranges for clothes 
washers in the Rule based on manufacturer model data derived from the DOE test procedures and submitted to DOE (https://www.regulations.doe.gov/ccms ).
2The amendments update the ranges in 
Appendix F1 and F2 and the sample labels in Appendix L of the Rule. The amendments also include conforming changes to sections 305.7, 305.10, and 305.11 to remove obsolete regulatory text applicable to models produced before March 7, 2015. Manufacturers have until May 11, 2016 to begin using the updated ranges on their labels. As indicated in section 305.10(a) of the Rule, products that have been labeled prior to this effective date need not be relabeled. 
III. Administrative Procedure Act 
The amendments published in this 
document involve routine, technical 
and minor, or conforming changes to the labeling requirements in the Rule. Accordingly, the Commission has good cause under section 553(b)(B) of the APA to forgo notice-and comment procedures for these rule amendments. 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B). These technical amendments merely provide a routine, conforming change to the range information required on EnergyGuide labels. The Commission therefore finds for good cause that public comment for these technical, procedural amendments is impractical and unnecessary. 
IV. Regulatory Flexibility Act 
The provisions of the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act relating to a Regulatory 
Flexibility Act analysis (5 U.S.C. 603– 604) are not applicable to this proceeding because the amendments do not impose any new obligations on entities regulated under the Energy Labeling Rule. These technical amendments merely provide a routine change to the range information required on EnergyGuide labels. Thus, the amendments will not have a ‘‘significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities.’’
3 
The Commission has concluded, therefore, that a regulatory flexibility analysis is not necessary, and certifies, under Section 605 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 605(b)), that the amendments announced today will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities. 
V. 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) 
VerDate Sep<11>2014 14:09 Feb 10, 2016 Jkt 238001 PO 00000 Frm 00007 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 E:\FR\FM\11FER1.SGM 11FER1jstallworth on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with RULES7202 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 28 / Thursday, February 11, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 
regulations that implement the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). OMB has approved the Rule’s existing information collection requirements through May 31, 2017 (OMB Control No. 3084 0069). The amendments now being adopted do not change the substance or frequency of the recordkeeping, disclosure, or reporting requirements and, therefore, do not require further OMB clearance.

ACTION : Order. SUMMARY : The Commodity Futures 
Trading Commission (‘‘Commission’’ or 
‘‘CFTC’’) is granting an exemption to certain member firms designated by the Korea Exchange (‘‘KRX’’) from the application of certain of the Commission’s foreign futures and option regulations based upon substituted compliance with certain comparable regulatory and self- regulatory requirements of a foreign regulatory authority consistent with conditions specified by the Commission, as set forth herein. This Order is issued pursuant to Commission Regulation 30.10, which permits persons to file a petition with the Commission for exemption from the application of certain of the Regulations set forth in Part 30 and authorizes the Commission to grant such an exemption if such action would not be otherwise contrary to the public interest or to the purposes of the provision from which exemption is sought.
